The odometer reads 98,098 as i pulled out of the drive in PA. A day and a little more, i arrive at Hidden Springs Nursery in TN. Here too, the soil is sandy as in Maine but the bedrock is limestone and no glaciers made it this far south. The nursery is nestled down in a maze of valleys cut by small creeks over time. The woods are diverse, tall and young. Temperatures are unseasonably cold (in the 20'sF) and there was a 6" snowfall just before i arrived. Much has melted away by this evening but the forecast is calling for freezing rain tonight.
