Traveling from Paducah to Gardendale, AL

We left the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Paducah this morning at 9:30 and headed south on I-24 and crossed into Tennessee a little before 11:00.

A few miles north of Nashville we changed from I-24 to I-65 south. We drove through Nashville at noon and drove past the Union Station Hotel.

When we reached Franklin, Tennessee we saw that the traffic heading north on I-65 was backed up for several miles.

We stopped at a Travel America station at Exit 61 to get gas in the RV (44.12 gal @ $3.179 gal). We've noticed that the gas prices are getting lower the farther south we're travel. We found an out of the way place to park the RV so we could fix lunch before getting back on I-65.

We crossed the state line into Alabama at 2:20 and drove past the Alabama Welcome Station where a Saturn 1B rocket is on display.

We began to see cotton fields when we got around the Decatur area.

Shortly after that we crossed the Tennessee River.

When we reached Gardendale, we exited the interstate at Exit 271 and drove east to the Wal-Mart Supercenter where we are spending the night. We drove 320 miles today and got in here at the Supercenter at 4:00.
