Sept 15, 2009 -- Marietta, GA to Paducah, KY

We got underway from home (Marietta, GA) about 12:00 noon on September 15th, bound for Bellingham, WA. The first day was blustery with wind and rain for much of the day. It later turned out that these storms were the beginning of the weather that caused so much flooding in Atlanta. We stopped in Paducah, KY for the night. Sorry, we took no pictures. We were tired and ready for bed when the driving day ended.  Because this trip will take us up and down mountains and through valleys, we're going to log our elevation each evening. Paducah elevation: 341 feet.
