Day 15, Saturday, 7/20/2024, On to Nashville

After a rather arduous day yesterday, we decided to take it easy today. We got up in time to get to the hotel breakfast before they closed, then start driving. We made a short stop at a science museum in Oakridge that had a lot of information on how the facility there contributed to the Manhattan Project (the first atomic bomb). We didn't take many pictures but enjoyed a nice video that talked about the process. We next drove on to Nashville. Bruce was complaining about thumping noise that he heard when the car was going between 65 and 75 MPH. We stopped at a Discount Tire store because that's who we bought them from on an earlier adventure. They measured the tread depth and convinced us to buy new tires. There was a credit of over $400 for the old tires since they were quite short of their rated life (not surprising, given the weight of a Tesla). We finally made it to our hotel in Nashville. Tomorrow we get together with friends who live in Nashville.

The Science Museum that we visited in Oakridge.

They had a rather bizarre overview map of the facilities around town.

Finally, at the end of the day, we had put in 208 miles.
