KENTUCKY - 2025 |
|
|
The hurricane of 2024 caused significant damage to our home, so by summer 2025 we needed a getaway as a break from rebuilding. Why choose Kentucky, you ask? Well, our criteria was to see something we haven't seen before at the cheapest possible price! Flights to Louisville were on sale!

 Ou first visit to Bucees! It was horrendous!! 5000 people fighting for a brisket sandwich is not my idea of fun! |
 A visit to Fort Knox and no, they don't let you see the gold!  Punkyville is a small town built by a guy who wanted to remember history so he made these buildings and filled them with antiques including a Model A Ford, pipe organs and anything else authentic from the last 100 years. Entrance is free! |
 We went on a mission to find as many covered bridges as we could. And Kentucky has plenty of them!  |

 Bernheim Forrest has huge sculptures created by Danish artist Thomas Dambo in 2019. They are constructed from recycled materials like bourbon barrels and shipping pallets.  Broke Leg Falls - we did OK with all limbs intact! Then off to the original KFC store when the Colonel created his famous recipe and opened his first restaurant in the 1930s. |

We went on a train ride through the countryside that ended at an old
run down bridge  Off to see Red River Canyon natural bridge.  |

 The scenic route through Red River Canyon invloves going through tunnels literally carved out of rock!  |
