We left D.C. late morning and immediately found our way through a see of bad drivers Virginia and then West Virginia. That meant treas. Also, more trees. As a state, WV is very scenic and Mike enjoyed the 70 mph speed limit. There just seemed to be little there except for possibly some good camp grounds. Of course, Kentucky was a little different. There were cows and trees. Mike did want to stop at the Wild Turkey distillery, but it was after 8pm and probably too late for a tour. Mike told me about a coworker of his who has a Wild Turkey bottle in the shape of a turkey. Wowsers. It’s too bad we weren’t able to go fill up on some of those.
Late in the day we started to see more deer on the read (dead) and beside the road (waiting to commit suicide). Based on our previous road trip experience from Cali to Mass we do know that deer tend to hurl themselves onto to the road in front of passing cars. Our discussion about this lead us to determine that if this were to happen to us this time around my car would probably be considered totaled and we’d have to buy a new one to get all of my stuff back. (Leaving my stuff behind is NOT an option.)
We spent the night in Louisville hoping to get an early start and make it to our Missouri destination by mid-afternoon.
