A detour to a significant site.


Travelling to Nashville up I65 I noticed a sign to Lynchburg... I followed the road to the site of the distillery which supplies the world with Jack Daniels Sour Mash Whiskey. Decided not to take the 70 minute tour led by a guy wearing dungarees and using an extreme Tennessee accent... A walking caricature. But chatted with the white haired lady behind the desk in the museum who was informative and had obviously lived a rich life, her name tag announced "Dynamite". The photo is of one of the more authentic buildings.

Rather pleased I made the move North, this morning people down South in such places as Lafayette, New Iberia and Houma are cowering in their basements under a tornado alert... We were there just a week ago.
