If you are planning to travel through Tennessee in the near future be aware
that the state welcome centers and rest areas have been closed due to a
budget crisis. Also the emergency trucks which normally run on the
expressways to help stranded motorists (required Vanagon content) have been
idled during the crisis.  The legislature has been unable to agree on a
budget that addresses the billion plus dollar deficit the state faces, Happy
motoring!
