Road Trip to Star Lake

The first day of our trip to Star Lake began at 6:00 and ended at 6:30. Long day. We skipped I-10 in favor of more rural roads for the first few hours. Bonus—our kitchen remodel is starting today in our absence. We’re grateful to miss at least some of it. The sunrise was lovely and, except for Georgia where a tropical storm was pushing rain in from the Atlantic the whole time we were driving, it was a great road-trip day. It would have only taken 12 hours if traffic had not been heavy near Roanoke. All in all, a lucky travel day.
