Crazy car at a NJ Turnpike rest stop.I left Mountain Jam in Hunter, NY on Sunday night after Levon Helm's festival-defining 3 hour set ended at midnight. Mountain Jam was a great time, highlighted by sets from Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, The Avett Brothers, Yonder Mountain String Band, Matisyahu, and Gov't Mule. Other than being surrounded by people dropping acid at Matisyahu, it was a good time. I drove overnight back to Boston to visit family before departing for Georgia.
Mike and I stumbled into Lizzie's house in Grovetown, Georgia last night around 2AM after driving all day from Boston. Not surprisingly, Georgia is hot. Very very very hot, and so the night was somewhat uncomfortable. But I slept in a real bed for the first time in 6 days, so I can't complain too much.
Highlight of the drive? The "Cafe Risque" topless diner. We did not go in, but the tacky billboards advertising the cafe miles in advance were priceless. Not to mention that the diner, from our viewpoint on the highway, looked like an absolute pit of despair.
Today brings the exploration of Augusta, GA, a dip into Strom Thurmond Lake, and preparing to leave for Bonnaroo at midnight. Oh yeah.

P.S. Internet access at Bonnaroo is non-existent. So see y'all after the weekend.
P.P.S. This site is not conducive for posting many pictures, so I set up a Picasa Web Album account where you guys can see pictures. The web address is: http://picasaweb.google.com/TomRoadTrip1
