a better example of this than Detroit, now a
thriving, dynamic, progressive city and where
we shall have our first rest day.
From Detroit we head north through
Michigan whose forests saw the birth of
motor rallying in the United States, and
we will be using some of those same roads
for our regularity sections. Passing over
the Mackinac Bridge, where Lakes Huron
and Michigan meet, we are into the little
populated Upper Peninsula, before finding
the source of the Mississippi River. The
great waterway leads us south before we
leave it briefly for our second non-driving
day in Indianapolis, the self-proclaimed
World Capital of Racing.
From there we are in states well off the usual
tourist trail but full of their own charms,
such as Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas and
Oklahoma before dipping into Texas for a
single night and hitting the Gulf Coast and
the delights of New Orleans. In a city with so
much going on the term “Rest Day’ may be
inappropriate.
The penultimate leg of our journey takes
us north through Mississippi, Alabama and
into Tennessee where we spend a night in
Chattanooga before our final non-driving day
in Music City, Nashville.

Our final two nights before the finish
couldn’t be more different in character.
Pigeon Forge, the home of Dollywood could
not be brasher, before we slip into our final
state, Georgia and genteel Augusta, home of
the Masters Golf Tournament. From there
it’s an easy drive to the finish in Colonial
Savannah, a beautiful city where we expect a
great Southern welcome.
