Day 2 - Greenville, SC to Dry Ridge, KY

Our second day was much better as far as the weather goes.  Very little rain and lots of sun and less traffic.  We left Greenville around 7:30 and stopped in Dry Ridge, KY for the night.  We are beginning to believe if we make 300 miles in a day we call it a good day…  However, at this rate it may be snowing by the time we get to Alaska.  At least we may get to see the Northern Lights.  We had a good day of driving with some beautiful mountain scenery and some unbelievable horse ranches.  We did see a large tanker truck on I-75 that the entire cab had burned, no one hurt; however, it took an hour to go 5 miles.  Paid $3.22/gal for gas in TN.  In Dry Ridge, KY where we stayed regular gas was $3.95. Another night in Walmart.
