October, 2018 Day 1... The Trip Begins


Day 1 Friday, October 12, 2018

    3P and my last show wraps.  The car was already packed and ready to go.  Even at mid-afternoon, I was expecting slow traffic heading out of Atlanta on I-85 north.  I knew I would hit rush hour in Greenville, South Carolina as well.  With that in mind, I only drove as far as Hendersonville, North Carolina.  It’s only an hour or so after I turned north-west on I-26 in Greenville.  My only planned stop was the Red Roof Inn, my home for the night.
    In hindsight, this was a good plan. Just getting out of Atlanta was an adventure...



    Followed by road construction in both North Georgia and just beyond Greenville.  I finally made it to Hendersonville, NC at 7P.  I was just in time for sunset, such as it was.







    I knew I didn’t want food, but there’s a Longhorn Steakhouse directly across from the motel parking lot, the perfect location for a cold one.  By now, you know I’ll try anything new on tap.  The only thing they had besides the national brand was a Blonde Ale by Golden Road Brewery.  I’ve tried plenty of blonde ales.  They have a certain crispness to their flavor.   This one didn’t.  It just tasted flat.   It was okay, just nothing special.  I decided one was enough.
