Continuing Winter Tour 2005 in EKY

Another day on the road. This time, the roads were up and down and very winding. I would have made better time today if not for a an old guy in his Blazer doing a cool 20 miles an hour in the 45 miles an hour area for a good ten miles. Oh, if ONLY I could have passed him.... I shouldn't complain, I did get a lot of work done today.

I did bring the camera and found a few more roadside gems along the way. Some scare and some tickle...


Nothing like an ominous warning to make a stranger feel welcome...
I saw this one on the side of the highway around Ravenna, KY and it honestly spooked me a bit. It's been my experience thus far that the deeper you get into rural Kentucky, the more Bible-thumping the natives. In the midst of work yesterday, the guy I was dealing with asked me if I went to church. I don't know what I said to get that question. He gave me pamphlets.

I was going to stay at the Boone Tavern Hotel tonight in Berea. I used to work in the dining room. I've eaten there several times over the years, but I've never stayed in the hotel. I was going to treat myself to that only to find the hotel closed for renovations until January 20. That figures. Sigh, some other time I guess....

Tomorrow: Home!
