I'd love to take a trip like you're talking about. I just spent last Sunday driving a U-haul truck full of "stuff" from our old house near Ft Worth Texas to our rented storage unit north of Atlanta. So I can say for sure that the South is a beautiful part of the country. I just wish I'd been able to stop and linger in a few places. But I had "many miles to go before I sleep". Somewhere around 900 miles in 12 hours and 15 minutes.
