2012 Trip - Day 117

Monday, August 27 - Kentucky Horse Park Campground, Lexington, KY - 157.0 Miles Today, 14,462.3 For the Trip

While I only drove 157 miles today, it seemed longer. Almost all of it was on narrow, hilly & twisty roads. KY 84 & US 68 were better than the earlier county roads, but until I hit Nicholasville, even they were work to drive. I did make another discovery - the birthplace of Lincoln. Maybe I was told sometime in a history class, but I don't remember knowing that both Jefferson Davis & Abraham Lincoln were born in the same state. I stopped & took a few photos at the memorial, then continued east.

I stopped for the night at the Kentucky Horse Park Campground. I stayed here on the way west on my 5th day out (May 7th) in site 245. This time I'm in 84. Good shade, and an easy back in site with water & electric.

It is still too hot to enjoy cooking, so I'll probably do something simple for dinner.

Until Tomorrow -
