Whistle Stop Cafe

I had lunch at the whistle stop Cafe, The Cafe they used in the movie fried green tomatoes with Kathy Bates and Jessica Tandy. I did not have the barbecue 🤣🤣🤣😉.

I met an absolutely wonderful couple Rae and Craig, who were also there on a motorcycle but locals. We talked before the place opened and I explained my ride and my charity. Since we were at the top of the list, I went in to sit at the bar while they grabbed the table. They invited me to sit with them and then bought my lunch. They were just so nice. They signed the bike afterwards and then took me just across the railroad tracks to the dam where the movie show the character walking across it. What a cool stop.

When I'm not in Georgia I forget how much I hate driving in Georgia. But then I get there and everybody tries to kill me and I remember why I hate driving in Georgia. So I basically spent all day trying not to die.

I only got into Tennessee around 1900, and now at 2000, I'm already in my tent ready to sleep. Yes, I did time change from Eastern to Central, but that's only 1 hour difference. I feel utterly exhausted and I don't know why. The only thing I can think of is the pain in my ribs that I thought was getting better but really isn't. I know they kept me awake last night, so maybe that's why I'm so tired today. But still, I shouldn't be this sluggish and drowsy all day long.

So I decided to stop before complete darkness. I found a little paved road at a Forestry Division fire tower. When it was light, you could just get a tiny glimpse of the bike from the road if you were looking for it. Now that it's dark and it's covered with no reflectors, nobody can see me. Which is perfect.

Now just wish me luck that there isn't a massive rainstorm tonight. I don't know if this tent can withstand a heavy rain.

Hope to see you on the road! Remember, NO WHINING! ✌️
