We moved 4 years ago from NE Philly to Clarksville which is about 35 miles NW of Nashville. If you need assistance on I-40 give me a shout.
PM me and i'll send you my mobile #

I've got you covered 1 hour either side of Knoxville. If your wife is an adventuristic type, grab some BBQ at Pup's on Walker Springs in Knoxville, I think it is exit 379. Where else can you buy BBQ out of a converted car wash? While you're there, they can detail your car! PM me and I'll give you my cell #

I hope you make it past me without trouble , but just in case, I'll send you my number.

Good luck on the drive. How far do you plan on getting the first day?

You sure picked a good time of year to move south...unless you like skiing...

We normally do about 300 miles a day, but I would like to do maybe 500 this trip.
Also, I have managed to find my way south the last 6 winters.

I just used Google Maps to try to estimate Jack's journey. That's a LONG haul from Berks County, PA to San Antonio, TX. I had no idea it was over 1700miles.

I guess if he travels 500 miles a day, he won't make it to Memphis until Tuesday.

Well, lets just bump that back a little.
I left PA about 1;30 on monday......WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
later than I expected,

Then The MH died on 81, in Wytheville VA.

I am currently in a holding pattern

I don't think it is a major problem, but time will tell.
