Sunday I drove for 9 hours to eastern Tennessee, and we set up our tent last minute, in the dark.
Today I drove 5 hours out to see the eclipse, and another 9 getting back. Got back in the dark (10PM) again. It's so frustrating to set up a campsite so late.
So, of the past 48 hours, roughly 23 have been spent in a car. And tomorrow we already have to leave, so another 7 hours or so, and we haven't even gotten to explore this absolutely fucking gorgeous area around us.
All of this to stare at the sun for 2 minutes. I'm so tired of being in the car...
The mountain roads are pretty awesome/scary though. I felt like a rally driver!
