Yes, Moonshine crossed the Finish Line today in time for Lunch. We started with fuel at I-75 at Highway 61 between Clinton and Norris, and moved east on 61 to Big Ridge, where the route took us up on Rt. 170 to a segment of Highway 33. Now, I should have taken the left turn back onto Hwy. 61, but the construction in the area confused me, and wound up adding twenty miles to the effort from getting lost, finding a mistake, and doubling back.

Highway 61 between Maynardville and Luttrell is not a lot of fun and only recommended for vehicles the size of Segways.

61 to Corryton, 331 to Harbison, 131 to Halls and then US 441 down to downtown Knoxville.

Last stop: Magnolia Avenue:



This is the north side of the 1900 block of Magnolia. Directly aft of Moonshine's bumper is the building that up to recently was home to Mary's Hot Tamales diner. On the other side is the building that used to be the Pepsi bottler where Mountain Dew was invented. I couldn't get good photos of either, but the block is in serious need of rehab. This same neighborhood has the Knoxville campus of Pelissippi State College and the local PBS station.

Of course, the rest of the trip is practically home turf and I've driven it dozens of times before. Total Distance: 235.5 Miles.

I've promised a nice lil' brown jug souvenir for on Moonshine's dashboard, and likely a front bumper plate. Job well done, my Prizm.
