Interstates & Parkways


Monday, July 30, 2007

We traveled on I-64 & Bluegrass Parkway, Western Kentucky Parkway and we missed a large portion of central Kentucky but we got here at our usual time for lunch.

We did get to travel US60 for a few miles coming and leaving Lexington, KY and a few miles before arriving at the park, Wax is a COE park and we are in a nice site B1 we have phone and satellite service but no PC connection.

The pastures around Lexington were note worthy, and the farms were extravagantly large.

We made reservations for Wednesday 10 am for the Grand Avenue tour of Mammoth Cave, the second tourist attraction in the US the first being Niagara Falls. There are over 350 miles of surveyed passageways, only about 12 miles are tourist suitable.

This morning we went to Mammoth Cave the back way from Wax and it is a pretty ride, crossed the Green River by ferry. The cave is mammoth but other than that it is not a pretty cave, a good walk 4 ½ mile walk on a hot day.
Thursday, August 02, 2007 Went to Bowling Green, headquarters for camping world the retail store was rather small, used book store, material store, lunch then came home.

Friday, August 03, 2007, we celebrated Sue’s birthday today and went to Leitchfield to do laundry, Post Office, Wal-Mart, the heat index of around 100. We saw Walter Kelly Bee Supply company a place that I had ordered things from 50 years ago.
There is a super fast WiFi connection here at the park if I go out the gate and the other side of the road.

Monday, August 06, 2007, we went to Cub Cave this morning it is about 5 miles from here. It is prettier than Mammoth Cave because of the formations. When we returned I backed over the satellite dish.

Tuesday, August 07, 2007, went to Bowling Green to Camping World and got a satellite dish, it another 100 degree day, on the way thru Mammoth Cave national park and across the Green River ferry must have seen a half dozen turkeys coming and going with long beards.
Wednesday, August 08, 2007 traveled down the SR88 to Horse Cave, Cave City saw Wigwam Motel the highlight of the trip ate lunch and were coming back via the Green River Ferry when we arrived it was closed so had to go back the way we came, the long way, Another 100 degree day.

Thursday, August 09, 2007 today we went to do the laundry in Litchfield early because of the heat and the non air conditioned Laundromat. Next we stopped by Wal-Mart for food, prescription and diesel fuel. Another 100+ day. Lots of deer and turkeys around here and it is a pretty area of the country rolling and some good hills

Friday, August 10, 2007 went for a walk around the campground and back to the air conditioned camper it is only suppose to be in the lower 90tes today
