Day 22 was Sept. 25
We woke up near Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Temperature was 71 degrees.
odometer at 30,624
elevation ~1000 ft.
From my travel journal:
It has been hot. In fact, I think the eastern part of the U.S> has been having an early autumn heatwave. Since Missouri, the temps have been topping out in the low 90s. Makes me miss the cool, dry west. Nonetheless, taking this trip in September enabled us to cheat Florida out of nearly one month of heat and humidity. From here on, it will only get better. The heat will begin to break around the mid-point of October.
As for rain, we were extremely blessed on this trip. The only rain we encountered outside of Florida was a shower after dark driving out of Yellowstone one evening and a very short thunderstorm while we were in a gift shop in Estes Park. The rest of the days were sunny.
Again, from our travel journal en route through Georgia:
Chips is excited now because apparently there is a football game in Atlanta involving the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. We just saw a vehicle pass us with GT flags flying. Northwestern Georgia, where we are right now, is also where we see the most kudzu.
