Wednesday, Oct 22: We left St. Louis about 10:00 AM heading toward Illinois and Kentucky to Cookeville, Tennessee to spend the night.  We got off the interstate when we saw a sign for the largest statue of Superman and the Superman Museum in Metropolis, Illinois.  I took John's picture with the big Superman statue on Superman Square.  The streets around it were named, "Truth" and "Justice" and "The American Way." Sandra had to go into the museum which was only an overpriced gift shop and she purchased two pieces of Kryptonite that glowed in the dark. On the way to Cookeville we crossed the Ohio river into Kentucky, then the Tennessee river and the Cumberland river.  We saw barges on the Ohio and Tennessee rivers. Going through Nashville we saw a building that looked like Batman and trucked on to Cookeville to spend the night. Thursday, Oct. 23: We drove from Cookeville to Knoxville and had lunch with Jewel and Craig.  John and Craig played nine holes of golf while Jewel and I talked. Then we drove across the beautiful Smoky Mountains with fall colors to Asheville to have supper with Clifton, then home to Statesville. The trip was 26 days and 7,250 miles and we enjoyed every bit of it but next time we fly.
