The part of Kentucky I drove through today is all cornfields and old tractors. Thought I'd be cool and get a picture of the trip meter when it turned to 1000 but then I forgot that it only hits 999.9. So I have a picture of it starting over it zero. Luckily I'll definitely hit that number again so I'll be more prepared the second time around.
Again no shortage of country stations down here. I did catch a little NPR this morning talking about the Supreme Court decision, but it just felt wrong to be catching up on news. I feel like a step back in time.
In one sense that's true. Driving down I-65 in Kentucky I saw a sign for the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln. And, being a Gettysburg girl, I decided I needed to go see that. I feel very Forest Gump in the way I've been making decisions.
It also put me on some backwoods Kentucky roads, which I totally just ate up.
Mammoth Cave, our second stop, was breathtaking, and probably would've been more so if I'd done a real tour. We did discover a little river off the regular path but my anti-water dog wanted nothing to do with it, no matter how refreshing. At the end of the hike we caught a "natural AC" breeze from the caves below.
Many thanks to Val and Joe for being wonderful first hosts!
