Mississippi (swamp tour)

So we travelled on, listening to the one and only Dane Cook (helarious american comedian like lee evans). Once we arrived we set up tents and ordered pizza. Woke up and travelled on further where we reached our swamp tour destination, we saw lots of Crocodiles and teh aftermath of hurricane katrina.

Tennessee (Jack Daniels distillery)

Arrived in Tennessee about midday, felt like we had gone back in time, teh town Lynchburg (where the JD distillery is) hadnt changed one bit.
Take a look at this sweet ford model T that was used to transport the barrells.
The distillery was free to go around in and this classic looking whiskey drinking guy called randy took us for our toor (on the right)
We were taken to the place where the yeast is fermented and the proof is %140, ive never experienced anything like this, the smell was so intense, literally it made you jump back when you took a whiff! Whilst on that note, you stand anywhere in Lynchburg and their is such a sweet smell in the air, its beautiful man!

Here is a photo of me with Jack
The size of the storage room was huge, im sure james would love to work here!In the gift shop I found this Indy Car that's sponsored by Jack :) After the tour of teh distillery we went into the town and had a lovely meal at this old restaraunt where we made a box of Trek america for teh roof of teh restaraunt. The law in Lynchburg is that you can only purchase JD from the distillery and maximum of 4 bottles, you cant drink JD at all.
I went into the original JD gift shoppe and baught a t-shirt and a gift for james, the woman gave me a free JD glass :D

West Virginia (white water rafting)

In the morning we woke up real early, packed our bags and headed for west virginia which took 7hrs.
Once we arrived we set up base camp and then chilled out, played soccer with the other trek america group, frisbee and american football.
Later on we had spag bol for dinner and I made a fire and we all had some beers, we ended up hooking up with the other group for some beer pong, flip cup and finally circle of death which is a card game where (1-4 you drink that ammount, 5 everyone downs, 6-10 you dish out, J= everyone must drink your ammount , Q= drink to the queen, K = make up a new rule and joker = question master).
We all woke up the next morning ready for some white water rafting! This was so sick!!! we went down teh new river through about 25 rapids which ranged from level 2 to 5, we had one level 5 rapid and a few 2-3. The first rapid we went through all exept jack and debbie came off teh raft, it was quite scary being swept down stream by a ferrocious current, after that we did really well on the difficult rapids, further down the river we did some swimming rapids where we swam through them, about a hour into it we stopped off at this big rock about 15ft high, I ran and jumped off it, it was soo sweet to fall so far, later on we also played some raft games and somersaulted off teh raft, hit some more rapids but rode them out!
Came back to base camp had lunch and watched teh video that had been filmed of us rafting, then packed up and rode out down teh 81 interstate to Tennessee.
