Hit the road south to the crazy heat where your glasses fog up the instant you step outdoors. Experienced cave systems of unimaginable size with impressive history, enough stalagmites and stalagtites for a lifetime, hiked the Smokies, traversed through the wonderous Shenandoah N.P., hit the brakes for a spinning corvette, carefree deer, multi-skunk encounters, stuffed ourselves with barbeque, tasted KFC in Kentucky, ducked under the largest aquarium on the east coast, admired vines that takeover forests, a long night of motel hunting ... and of course plenty more.
