Day 2 – mileage 271 - Ashland – Louisville Kentucky We started the day early and the weather was good after the evening thunderstorms that went on forever. We loved the countryside. It consisted of green rolling hills, blue sky, and no traffic. It was truly peaceful. Our first stop was Lexington Kentucky. As we drove into town, we saw the many stately old homes. We stopped at the Mary Todd Lincoln house. As we were making pictures, we met a family with a 7-year-old daughter. Her goal was to visit all the president’s wife’s houses. She had a pinwheel of pictures and information for all the spouses. Our next stop was the Dixie Cup water tower. On the way we were on Hwy 421. It seems so weird to be on a highway many states ... read more

We had a quiet night at the Crackerbarrel lot, that is except for the delivery truck that showed up to unload at 4AM. No one says that "Free Camping" comes without price. Back on the road, we continued down I79 to Charleston WV, where we picked up I64 west to Lexington, then over to Elizabethtown, then finally down to Bowling Green. There we landed for a visit with Lea Ann, one of Cathy's old buddies from her childhood. They were both vagabond "Campbells Soup Kids" traveling around the country, living for a while near whatever Campbells plant their Dads were assigned to. LeeAnn and her husband have a beautiful old home in suburban Bowling Green filled with fantastic art and artifacts from all over. They also have horses and chickens, and the gals collected a dozen ... read more
