The Tunnel


Took me nearly two years to get a hold of these crazy pics.

2008, my friends and I decided to go to Tennessee. Our car doesn't have a GPS so all we would usually do when we have out of town trips is to print maps from Google. Google is a very helpful tool for the most part, but not all of the maps are updated.

We were in Kentucky that time, and in order to get to Tennessee, you have to first pass through Ohio. Hence we printed out maps of Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio.

And we made it to Tennessee after like 3 hours of straight driving.

We agreed to start driving home by 6pm. But on our way back to Kentucky, we passed by a huge factory sale in one of the busy streets of Knoxville TN, so we decided to shop (well, maybe for half an hour). What we agreed as half an hour became 2 hours. After 2 hours, we were all bringing shopping bags. It was already late to travel down Kentucky, at streets we were not so familiar with, but we were happy. We have maps anyway.

But it was already too dark and we were all tired from shopping that we suddenly took a wrong trn and ended up at a very creepy village just near the Tennessee Conservation Forest. We enterred a pub, and a drunk man said we just had to go down south and take exit 21. And so we did.

And we did. And we f*cking believed the drunk man. Coz on our way, we took so many different weird turns, until we reached a highway that led us to 2 tunnels. The next thing we knew, we already saw a huge signage that said "WELCOME TO NORTH CAROLINA". And mind you, it was already around 11PM.

We didnt have a map for NC, and the streets were dark, and their traveller's lounge was already closed, except for the comfort rooms.

That was a terrible experience. But looking back at the pictures, I could not care but laugh at how weird we got to manage to go back to Lexington, Kentucky. Talk about a funny 911 call, and a 101 sexual favors with the truck drivers atthe waiting lounge.


Hell yeah.
