Day 42: Russellville

We awake in Russellville. Tonight we sleep in Russellville. Huh? What gives?

This morning we started in Russellville, AR. Tonight we are about 450miles further towards home and are staying in Russellville, KY. It wasn’t planned this way however.

The day started fairly normally and after breakfast we rejoined I-40E towards Memphis, TN.

Crossing the Mississippi River

Once past Memphis we head towards Nashville, TN stopping to do a little shopping in Jackson, TN and have lunch. Rejoining the I-40E the traffic increases as we get closer to Nashville. I then notice that the Waze GPS app is re-routing us because of traffic issues in Nashville. It does this a few times and then Barb notices that on Google maps in the city of Nashville traffic is a mess! Time to divert.

Barb determines a route cross-country toward our intended destination, Bowling Green, KY. I take the next exit and avoid the traffic. Barb then tells me that we could actually stop for the night in a town with the same name as where we started, Russellville, KY.

And so here we, ‘back where we started’ as it were. Ha ha ha.

Tomorrow, we head North. We’ll leave Kentucky and head into Indiana. See you there.
