Tomorrow we're off on a trek through Virginia, to Thomas Jefferson's house at Monticello. Then we'll drive through the Shenandoah Valley, over the Appalachian Mountains, through Knoxville, to Nashville, Tennessee. Next we'll head down the Natchez Trace to Grinders Stand, where on October 10, 1809, Captain Merewether Lewis drew his last breath. From the trace we'll head east, going through Chattanooga and on to Atlanta... From Atlanta, who knows...
