28 Hours....Part I

Last  Saturday night, we decided, as is our custom, to take off the next day for Kentucky and parts unknown.  Unplanned.  Impulsive.   Let's be surprised.  Let's see what happens.  Wild hair. Yee  Hawww!!!

We departed at noon on Sunday.  This blog will chronicle our 28-hour adventure into the incredible state of Kentucky and return trip home, which ended at 4:00 PM on Monday.  What a time!

The Kentucky Mountains Loom Ahead!

We Eschewed the Interstate for Scenic Country Roads





What an Enchanted Country Road!




Oh, My!




We Tunnel Under the Mountain to Kentucky




Wheeeee!!!!


You See These Log Cabins all Across Appalachia


The Little, Historic Town of Cumberland Gap

From Cumberland Gap, We Travelled to Middlesboro, Kentucky.  This Town was Built in the Middle of a Meteorite Impact Crater!



Back on the Road to Williamsburg, Kentucky.  Across this Scenic Old Steel Bridge and Down Winding, Hilly State Highways.......
