It was a nice uneventful first day of the trip. I got rolling around 8:30am already sweating in what felt like 100% humidity. Once I got moving I was comfortable even though my glasses were fogging up at times.
The only real traffic I had was when I headed west off I-75 because I wanted to avoid Atlanta traffic but it didn't work. I got jammed up on 2-laned roads and slow traffic but still got to my hotel in Rome before 5pm.
I had a nice conversation at dinner with a guy also named Terry who said I could tell all my friends in Florida that "a Georgia redneck talked my ears off." A good guy, former motorcyclist and fellow traveler.
Official odometer mileage at start of trip - 39,714
A big shout out and thanks to Bolay restaurants for contributing a penny per mile to Gainesville for All (GNV4ALL)! Our son Max is a manager at the Gainesville Bolay restaurant and provided the nice shirts.
