We headed south from Louisville and soon found ourselves at the birthplace and childhood home of Abraham Lincoln. After some stumbling and cursing we finally found our way to the childhood home (photo to your left). We also eventually located Abe's birthplace which was a little more established and better marked. We visited the memorial and watched a documentary and were on our way. Luckily, around this time, we crossed over into the central time zone so we gained an hour to make up for the lost time of driving all willy nilly through the backwoods of Kentucky.
Our goal was to eat at a BBQ place in Nashville and then look around downtown but our GPS got confused and had us on a down when we should've been on an up. The down set us on a westerdly course towards Memphis so we opted to go with the flow and save Nashville for a future excursion. We stopped about an hour east of Memphis in Jackson, the home of famous train engineer Casey Jones. The Day's Inn that we stayed at was located right next door to Casey Jones Village which is listed proudly as "One of Tennessee's Top 10 Travel Attractions."
Maybe next time Nashville
