Rochester, NY to Nashville, TN

We got away from Rochester on a day that had a few rain drops but soon turned to sunny blue skies. Once we crossed the state line into Pennsylvania we noticed that the leaves were turning in color. When we arrived in Hershey, PA we found out that there was a car show on and all RV parks and resorts were full. So on we go to Harrisburg and stayed there. We went back to the Hershey Chocolate Factory the next day. We took the tour and after the tour you are deposited into the gift shop. We were awestruck at the amount of chocolate and similar products are available in the gift shop. Pictures at http://community.webshots.com/user/ramit56 under Hershey, PA heading

We took a trip out into the surrounding countryside and saw many old beautiful homes. Once we were back to where the motorhome was parked we reconnected the car & headed in a south westerly direction. On the morning of the 11th we found the temperature a little cooler and some cloud cover. We continued on and on our travel we stopped at Natural Bridge, Virginia. This bridge is a natural bridge and Hwy 11 travels on the top of it. Pictures at http://community.webshots.com/user/ramit56 under Natural Bridge, VA. This was an interesting tour and the tour guide was most informative. George Washington was a surveyor and his mark has been left here according to the records.

From here we drove to Knoxville, TN staying overnight there. The next morning we continued on and stayed at a resort in Nashville, TN. We went to the Nashville Nightlife theatre and the star of the evening was Steve Hall & Shotgun Red. The next day we toured around Nashville and finding out where the locals hangout. That evening we went to the Grand Ole Opry. We saw several established stars and also some up and coming stars. The following day we walked around the Opryland Hotel Courtyard. This courtyard has many shops, and the interesting part is the roof is all glass. In fact 4 & 1/2 acres is all under glass. That evening we took the General Jackson Showboat tour that included a dinner and show. Excellent all the way around.
