Off To Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia!

We were hoping for a great ride out east, but the weather didn't co-operate! We ended up driving the truck, since it rained "buckets"!
We still managed to have a great trip! We called several dances, and took a few days to enjoy the trip. We journeyed to our riding buddy, Roy, in Virginia, where we based there, for several days! It let up on the rain, so we were able to enjoy the area! As we returned to Dallas, we spent a couple of days in Nashville, playing tourist!



This is a really neat waterfalls, that we found while in North Carolina.





We were very fortunate to make a show of The Grand Ol Opry, while in Nashville! Many great performers! Little Jimmie Dickens, John Connelly, Jeanne Sealy, Charlie Daniels, and several others!

We took a buss, or riding tour of Nashville, that was really great! This pic was taken through the park, leading to the Capitol building.






While in Nashville, we took a walking tour, that included the RymanAuditorium, Ernest Tubb Record Shop (the home of the Midnight Jamboree), The Hatch Print Shop














Inside the Ryman, is this bronze sculptor of Roy Acuff, and Minnie Pearl






No trip to Nashville is complete, without a visit to "Tootsies"!!!!!!! You can feel the history, and legends!











While in "Tootsies", we couldn't pass up the oppertunity to have our photo made in the exact corner where Willie wrote "Crazy", for Patsy Cline!



Our trip, east, was great, even though we had to take 4 wheels, our pick-up
