Day 9
We changed time zone today on our way to Nashville, we want to the grand old osprey
The new one and the old one. Then we turned southwest on our way to Memphis so I can get memorabilia at Graceland for Carol.
We stopped at a Motel 6 at 2325 HWY 46 S. DICKSON, TN 3705, when we came into the state we stopped by the information center and picked up the Traveler that has Discount coupons, it seams that this Motel 6 that advertised in this Discount guide can decide to not honor this coupon for no apparent reason, and for that reason I recommend know one stay here. It is one thing if there is a time or a date restriction but there was not. I think it is only fair that I let Motel 6 Corporate know how this franchise treats the public so I am going give the management here the web address so they can read this.
We are not demanding by nature but we do expect what is fair.

Day 9
Had a very long hot ride to Nashville. There was so much going on around us between road construction and increased congestion because of it, getting around was a little tense at times. In spite of it all we got to the new Grand ol Oprey in opreyland took a few pictures then headed for the old one. That’s when the traffic and road construction really kicked in. But once again we conquered the downtown dragon and arrived at the old one. A beautiful old building totally restored, and oozing with history and tradition. How many careers were launched from there we probably never know. After pictures we hit the road for Memphis, stopping in Dickson to get some sleep

Day 8
Today we went to Atlanta, Georgia to find the shop that restores Mini Coopers into hot rods. Apparently with a few frame and front end modifications along with a supped up v-6 these things can really move out. Unfortunately we could not find it after a couple hours even with the help of some locals so we stopped the search and headed for Nashville,Tenn after spending the night at Acworth, Ga.

Day 7
We rode the Blue Ridge Parkway most of the day. We got bad directions so we asked someone else and found the Dragon it is a stretch of US Hwy 129 it has 318 curves in 11 miles. Alex a rider that we met and he took us up to the dragon on the way up going about 40 mph he stood up on his seat turned around and took our photo going about 40 MPH. We asked if he would send it to us, and he said he would. We are now in Maryville, TN for the night.
