[at-l] I-40

HUM,
   I-40 YOU MEAN THAT PLACE THAT RAINED SO HARD TODAY YOU COULD BARELY SEE
YOUR HAND IN FRONT OF YOU WHILE DIVING IN A CAR.  I WAS UP AT MAX PATCH AND
ON THE WAY BACK IT POORED BUCKETS. I MADE A DETOUR ON STATE ROAD 32 OR WAS
IT 33 OFF THE SMOKEYMOUNTAIN PARKWAY. ANY WAY IT CAME TO A GRAVEL ROAD RIGHT
AT A SIGN THAT SAID THE AT TRAIL.  THE SIGN POINTED NORTH TO DAVENPORT GAP.
HAVE ANYONE OF YOU DRIVEN THAT WINDY TWISTY ROAD.  FOR SEVEN MILES ALL YOUR
DOING IS TURNING YOUR WHEEL BACK AND FORTH ALONG THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN.
GREAT FUN THAT ROAD IS. ALL THE TIME I WAS DRIVING I WAS THINKING IF THE AT
FOLLOWS THIS ROAD WHAT FUN IT WOULD BE TO BE HIKING THIS SECTION AND THERE
IN FORNT OF ME WAS THE AT.  GUESS WHO'S GOING BACK THERE ASAP. GORGEOUS
COUNTRY!!
ROGENE
