I took the interstate bypass around Knoxville, half expecting a traffic jam at 8 am, but never saw one.
I was getting down on gas, but wouldn't fill up until I got east of the Tn-66 exit for Sevierville/Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg. I have always found he stations east of there to be cheaper than anywhere else. I went to the Pilot Station at Dandridge (Exit 417) and got gas for the cheapest on the trip so far, $2.37.
Gas in Gibson City, Illlinois Aug. 28th was $2.60
Aug. 29th Vincennes, Indiana $2.59
Aug. 29th London, Kentucky $2.50
Aug. 30th Whitsett, NC $2.48
THANK GOODNESS IT'S OPEN AGAIN
It sure was nice being able to drive through the mountains of North Carolina on I-40. This road had been closed for about two years after a major rock slide. Earlier this spring, I had to take US-52 in Winston-Salem to Wytheville, Virginia and then I-81 back to Knoxville.
Definitely a lot easier with I-40 open.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
