Default Road Trip: Chi-Nash-Ashe-Tamp-Chap-DC

I hit the road today. First stop Nashville. Just got in. Off to Predators game. More soon. And a few pics to get it started.





This seat is more comfortable than the GT3 seats. Haha.





At the Louisville Slugger field. Ate lunch at Against the Grain brew pub.





Nashville!



Grimacing because I can no longer feel my feet.


Rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow leaving Chicago. Greasy!

East Nashville is the place to be in my limited knowledge of the area.

Not much to report. Just some playing and sightseeing.

Tomorrow I drive to Asheville after hopefully winning the championship game.

More soon...

Michael: You already know Asheville has great beers, right? Burial Skillit Donut Stout and anything Wicked Weed are my favs. Let me know if you pass by Greensboro.

Ok. We lost in the championship game. So I headed out to Asheville on the super slab and it rained most of the time and got stuck in an hours worth of stopped traffic on 40. Bummer.

GT3 seats are rough on the old body after 4 games in 36 hours.

I might be cutting the trip short for family reasons. More soon.

Michael





Teammates after defeat. Lost to a team from Canada of course.

I will let you know. Plans are up in the air at the moment.

Beer is good. I'll check them out!
