(CW: dead bird) This week i peed in the Cherokee National Forest, cruised through the Smoky Mountains, murdered a tufted titmouse with my car, got real lost in West Memphis (would not recommend), later found a waterfall i hadn’t planned on, and got yelled at by an eagle. i’ve cried like two and a half times, but i’ve gotta say my opinion of long-haul truckers has improved dramatically. Shoutout to the sole rainbow OR BLM sign i have seen since Asheville (!!!) and these puppy models who watched over me one night at a rest stop. Honorable mention goes to rooster Ed, who’s hangin in there.
