	A beautiful Tennessee morning finds us on the last leg to our final destination - with a few detours
At this point, the convoy is broken up into groups taking different routes to South Carolina.Along the way, we enjoy the gorgeous Tennessee country side
	The group I was in detoured into the mountains to visit a little town called Lynchburg in Tennessee and a company based there who makes a tasty adult beverage.
The main part of the lobby was filled with many Jack Daniel's memorabilia and photos
	The group watched a short video about the distillery before taking the tour
Our tour guide - a good ol' Tennessee boy - was both knowledgeable (he has worked at the distillery since he was 19) and funny.
	The tour took us through all the facilities and processes of the distillery
At the end of the tour we were all taken to meet the CEO of Jack Daniel's who presented Robert Leidy with a membership in the Tennessee Squire - an association of special friends of Jack Daniel's and Lynchburg who are given a square foot of land in Lynchburg
	The beautiful area at the distillery provided a perfect photo opportunity
Back on the road, a few of us decided to take off and play in the Blue Ridge Mountains
	With Calvin in the lead, we ran the Blue Ridge Mountains - some of the best twisties I have ever driven (but the ///M couldn't get away from Dieter Z)
We finally made it to the hotel after a long day of driving
	And it was quite evident we were in the right place
After a bit of winding down and socializing, we were ready for a good nights rest before a busy day at Zentrum
