HEADING WEST

8 April 2013: We left Washington DC behind on the first really nice day of the year and headed west, cutting through the Appalachian and Allegheny Mountains on Rt. 33. We left the busy traffic behind and drove through Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas and into Texas.

We left behind wintry Virginia...

but not before hitting high altitude snow.

Spring started in West Virginia

By Kentucky Spring had Sprung.

Horse country around Lexington, Kentucky. This is by Keeneland Race Track

We took a detour to see the United States Bullion Depository, or "Gold Vault" at Ft. Knox. 
$87 billion in gold doesn't seem so much anymore. 

Where else but Tennessee?

Entering Texas to visit family in Waco.
