The trip down to Atlanta, via Louisville-Nashville-Chattanooga, took about nine hours all told, including refueling stops and a sandwich in Bowling Green. On the way home, I figured I'd take it in two chunks, stopping for lunch in Chattanooga and getting a motel room in Knoxville so I could see Gunsmith Bob & staghounds on the way.
I went on the web to reserve a room at the Holiday Inn Express in Farragut, TN and discovered that all my staying at the HIX for gun school has given me enough points for a free night. Bonus!
FWIW, that Dark Star Gear IWB holster was no problem, even for nine hours at a stretch in the Zed Drei's snug, well-bolstered bucket seats.
