Music City ...

After stuffing ourselves silly with biscuits at the Loveless Cafe, we hitched a ride with a gun slinging old cowboy named Rus who took us the 20 or so miles into downtown Nashville.

Once in Nashville we crashed out on our first night, exhausted by our journey up the trace and having made it over 550 miles so far. Go us !!

While in Nashville we checked out the local music scene on Broadway and in Printers Alley. We hit up the Hatch Show Print shop, one of the oldest working letterpress print shops in America. On our bus trip to the outdoor shop to get supplies we experienced some flash flooding. Our Couchsurfing host Oscar took us on a tour of his workplace, the United Record Press. And we even made it on to a local satellite radio station, Sirius XM, for some shameless self promotion.

Over all Nashville has been a fun little interlude to the riding part of our trip.
