Our nav directed us off of I-75 to avoid some traffic. Sometimes we trust the computer on the necessity of these detours, sometimes we don't. We did this time, and drove along a winding two road highway for probably 5-10 miles through the last hills of southern Kentucky and into Jellico, Tennessee.

We've buzzed by Jellico dozens of times, of course, but have never stopped. It was nice to see. Looks like it might have been a bustling town back in the day, before the interstate came through, I'm guessing.
