<p>Morning all, </p>
<p>Today is the first day of <a href="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23CSUC09">CSUC09</a> (Cascade Server User&#8217;s Conference 2009). I am excited about what I am going to learn today and even more excited about the people I am going to meet. I have already met <a href="http://twitter.com/kevworks">@KevWorks</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/nShontz">@nShontz</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/danbowling">@danbowling</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/brockbrown">@brockbrown</a>, and <a href="http://www.beacontechnologies.com/">Beacon Technologies</a> They are all great people and all very knowledgeable. But on to my drive to ATL. </p>
<p>I wanted to take the scenic route down to Atlanta since I never get to take my time and just drive to different places. The map above is the exact route I took and I would recommend it to anybody in the fall of the year. it was wonderful especially Nantahala, Nantahala is the most beautiful stretch of pavement I have ever been on. Waterfalls where on my left, a raging river on the right, and the smell of woodsmoke was in the air. Leaves piled on the road in many different colors just waiting for me to drive over them and kick them in the air. The road was windy and long. As I said before I would recommend it to anyone. Below is a map and images from my trip. Enjoy:</p>
