Default Took my Tundra cross country...(pics)

Hey guys, just got back from a 5700 mile trek across this beautiful country. My mother moved to GA. and I hauled a bed full of her stuff plus a loaded tandem axle trailer from SoCal to Atlanta. It was almost as if nothing was behind me! Then my wife & I drove back & saw some sites. The truck was great, it was like cruisin' along in my living room with the world's largest flat screen! Weather was awesome, not a drop of rain from CA to GA and back! Never turned on the A/C. I got approx. 16.2 mpg there with the trailer(in Tow/Haul mode) & about 19-20 on the way back. Not bad at all, I was expecting worse. Anyway, here are some pics from our journey. Hope you enjoy!

Nice looks like the truck was washed before every photo.

Those Tundras were a rare sight when I was in Tennessee/Georgia this Summer. I flew down though, no driving. It was still beautiful and I will absolutely visit again (even though my friend won't be going to school down there anymore). and freekyFX4, I'm sure they treated him right. I know they did when I was down there.

And that fireworks place looks pretty insane.

My Tundra has been to those places too, I didn't take as many pics as you did. Is that fireworks place near the TN/GA - GA/TN line? I saw it while I stopped to look for the Lodge Factory outlet.

It's actually the TN/AL state line. Just before you get to Chattanooga on I-24 going East, you pass into Alabama for about 5 miles then back into Tennessee. There is even one fireworks stand that is between the eastbound and westbound lanes of I- 24.

I'm pretty sure you pass into GA(not AL) for a few minutes then back into TN then back into GA. I don't think I-24 runs through AL.

I stand corrected...it goes into Georgia near Wildwood. I have been through there more than 100 times and always thought it was Alabama. Thanks for the info!
