From Lois' Hands: Final Leg of the Journey

Final Leg of the Journey - TN to OH

Good morning,

These images are from the final leg of our journey from Florida to Ohio.

When we woke up in Tennessee we knew there was some wet weather between us and our home in Ohio...

...and it didn't look too bad as we started driving very early.

But, sadly, it got worse...

...and soon it was very hard to see the traffic ahead.

Things got a little better as we crossed into Kentucky. Sadly, we had already seen many accidents and vehicles being pulled out of ditches. There was even an 18 wheeler overturned and cargo scattered everywhere. Another truck had arrived and the cargo was being reloaded onto that truck. Another accident involving several vehicles happened immediately in front of us. No serious injuries, but, sadly, I am sure those people had a bad day.

We were very thankful to arrive home safely.

We hope you have a very safe winter season!

All the best,
Lois

Glad you got home safely!; November 30, 2011 at 6:25 AM
