Typically, a drive to Nashville from Owensboro is two hours and change. According to the KY DOT, this was due to a “vehicle on fire” on I-65 south bound—about 5 minutes outside of Bowling Green.
My whole day was completely fucked.
I had to get DMac’s wife on the phone (Thank you SO much!) to cancel my original 8:20 PM reservation and get the next one possible. Next reservation? 6:45 AM.
So, we drove around Nashville near the airport and found a hotel room for the three of us that night. It was a pretty terrible hotel, filled with roaches and my crazy travel friends. I did not get any sleep.
