Our travels through Kentucky

Not necessarily in any particular order....

We did hit Fort Knox because of course you hear so 

much about it you have to go look.

It is in a Fort of course, and it is well guarded.

It would've been fun to see the gold

no peeking allowed.

The haunted house looked fun, you don't see too many of them around.

Wonder if there's a ghost shortage.

We camped in Mammoth Cave Park - for you Rv'rs out there

is a Thousand Trail Park.

You pay a membership fee, and you can camp for 1-2 weeks

FREE then you take a couple days off and camp

at another one - there throughout the country - sparse

in some areas - OR you can camp 3 days, go to the next park

camp  3 days, etc. FREE.

They are a mixed bag but most are a really fine place to hang.

Of course, we had to go to National Corvette museum

which was so cool. We made it through the

doors before a guard informed us that it was closed.

Sigh.

Churchill Downs is beautiful and of course closed as well,

but we were able to stroll the grounds somewhat

and it blew my mind because seeing it on TV is soooo different

than real life.

I thought it was like out in the country but it's actually in downtown

Louisville with sketchy surroundings.

And the slugger - America's bat.

I am sure there's a few homeruns in that bat.

Lincoln's birthplace in LaRue County and it

was beautiful of course, and closed.

We walked the grounds and all the way the stairs

to find the doors locked.

A cabin is in the building, and it is a cabin similar to the one

he was born in. After they built the monument, 

saved the log cabin, it was determined that it was NOT the

original cabin. (spoiler alert)

This farmhouse and its land were occupied by both

the north and south during the Battle for the Bridge or

the Battle of Munfordville

Beautiful grounds to walk about.

This is the Green River in Mullenburg County and

we had to go see it because Mullenburg County is mentioned

in a John Prine song called Paradise.

Cool Song..
