Fort Knox to Virginia

Visitors Center/Offices
in Roundabout in Bardstown

My goodness where did the week go.  Thursday 9-26 we headed over to a little town called Bardstown, Ky.  We did a bunch of the local craft and antique stores and finally about 3:00 we decided to do one of the distillery tours....just our luck, too late the distilleries all do their last tour at 3:00. Oh well, we want to come back here again, so they will go up the priority list.  We did some driving around, checking out a couple of the local CG, then headed home about 4:30.  We did our best to travel back roads on our way back, so it took us about an hour to get there but it was nice ride. 

 

Friday we had planned on going to the General Patton museum, but the nice day got the best of Brad, so washing the motorhome took priority (this is why we are coming back to this area).  So he washed the moho, I did all the big laundry at the laundry mat, talked with Mel, Theresa and then made reservations for the IRV2 Rally next September, nothing like planning ahead!!  Then off to Wal-Mart for some of the supplies we needed, back home, dinner and start putting stuff away for the travel day tomorrow.  It was a beautiful day to work on the moho, but not so nice packing up to move.

Saturday we didn't get on the road until 11:00 and ended up stopping just inside the Kentucky state line for the night.  We did a just a couple of stops,  Walmart/Burger King, then four stops for gas.  Yes four, first one we couldn't get in,  three blocks to another, cheap but couldn't get in.  Third one we drove by, they didn't have diesel.  And the fourth,  Brad turns into this tiny gas station we are blocking half the pumps, and he goes out the entrance only because there is not enough room to turn around, only to pass a nice big gas station another mile down the road.  Anyway, we  ended up stopping at the Ashland/Huntington West KOA.  Talk about a no frills CG, kinda of funny though, we had a pull through site, but still had to disconnect the car to be able to hook everything up.  I think that was poor planning on their part.  We were both exhausted, so just hot dogs on the grill for dinner with very little stuff gotten out since it's back on the road tomorrow. 

Sunday we were on the road about 10:00, stopped for gas(once), two different rest areas and pulled into the Walnut Hill's KOA about 5:00.  This place is beautiful CG, we are up on the hill top with a view of the small lake down below.  Chicken on the grill for dinner, and a do nothing night.  For some reason putting on the miles tires us all out.  That was 520 miles in two days perhaps a new record for us.  We are staying here until Wednesday and then heading back to PA.  We'll stop in Dillsburg for about a week, then off to Tioga County to visit our Dr's and get all those appointments out of the way.
