Christmas Trip - Day 1

Left Marion at 1230. Took US-45 down to I-20/I-59 and drove east towards Birmingham, then on I-50 towards Tennessee. Made good time to Chattanooga (1700), but hit a huge traffic jam! When I finally got out of the stop-go, headed up I-24 and I-75 to I-40 (gas in Athens, TN). Called Carolyn around 1830. Finally on I-81 - saw snow near Bristol. The most amazing thing was that I was listening to the radio and caught WBZ (Boston!) near the NC-VA border! Gas in Fairfield, VA, at 2330. Called Nicky just before midnight. Got to I-78 around 0300. Stopped for the night in Frystown, PA. Tired!
