Vacation, day 2

Well I drove up to Tennessee from Dallas the other day.
The weather durring the trip was incredible, the scenery breathtaking... even from the boring old highway.
I got to tour the Jack Daniels Distillery, which was a lot of fun!
And the highlight of my trip was to finaly meet my friend Belinda... and the photo's we took dont do her justice... I was doing everything in my power to behave,lol.
I'm off to the mountains today, and wont have access to the net, unless there is a local number for my ISP.
More pics as soon as possible!!!

Raw whiskey being dripped through the charcoal packed vats. The charcoal is used to filter out the oils and impurities in the raw whiskey. It's what starts to give it that "mellow" taste...
