    Well I was born and bred in the hills of Tennessee and I'm still here! I'll always call this place home; there is just no other place like it or like the people here... it's wonderful! I love to travel and see new things but ole Rocky Top will always be calling my name!

    I love Tennessee. I have been through there a couple of times, I really remember Johnson City! :)

    Oh, Johnson City is in East Tennessee! I bet you remembered it; east TN is extremely beautiful(very mountainous). Most of my family lives in East Tennessee, Grundy County to be exact. I actually live in Middle Tennessee(1 hour south of Nashville) which is a lot more hilly; it's pretty here too.

    It was really cool, for me. I was missing being in Alaska and to get paid(! ) to drive and see the Rockies was awesome! I would like to have stayed and kept driving but I had a family by then so settled down from that. On one run, we called the Western Slope, the route was out of Denver to Salt Lake City and return by way of Steamboat Springs, Co. The first time over and back, got froze in in Steamboat... the next time I took that run, I carried my ski gear in the sleeper!

    I had a teacher once that visited England a lot and she had taken a lot of pictures of signs while she was there(she collects pictures of neat signs). One particular sign she had was for an ice cream stand which stated "Ice Lollies." I thought to myself, HOW CUTE, and just knew I had to visit that place one day!
