Day 3 – Forsyth, Georgia to Goreville, Illinois
Another good trek to Goreville, Illinois… 493 miles at 7.5 hours. We missed the early morning Atlanta rush hour traffic, crossed the state of Tennessee on I-24 through Chattanooga and Nashville and also crossed the West side of Kentucky near the Land Between the Lakes. There is a dam and an extremely high or tall lock near Paducah on the Ohio River. We thought of our friends Greg and Michelle… so we had to call and leave Michelle a voice mail and out of the blue, Greg called. He said we were in his old stomping grounds.

We stopped for the night in Goreville at the Ferne Clyffe State Park. We parked in a grove of gold leaf birch trees and sat outside enjoying the 60 degree weather. Brigit was entertained by the numerous squirrels running around the park and I think they purposely stayed just far enough away to tease her.
