I had to run up to Nashville this morning, but was able to do so fairly quickly. This afternoon my father-in-law and I went on a little cruise. We first headed to downtown Columbia and stopped at the “Motor Alley”. We were invited into a shop that works on many cars owned by Mike Wolfe of American Pickers fame. Photography wasn’t allowed, but the guy working there told us all about the cars (a mix of old foreign and domestic) and answered all of our questions. Next we cruised out Hampshire Pike, with a couple of detours through new neighborhoods and down interesting backroads. The Natchez Trace was further out than I remembered, but eventually we made it, and headed north. The drive was so beautiful – spring is arriving with gusto and the landscape is turning green. We stopped at Jackson Falls and walked down to the waterfall. It didn’t have much flow, but was still pretty. We exited the Trace at Highway 7 and cruised back to the farm. Liz, her mother, and Luke were returning just as we arrived.
