The KOA we were staying at had a real Conestoga Wagon - we momentarily contemplated rounding up some horses and heading back to south Texas, but there were just no horses anywhere - go figure!! So we loaded up "our" wagons and headed north.
Over the day, the full leaves on the trees and spring blossoms have gradually become just buds with the occasional green tint seen in the distance. Honestly, it feels like we are watching the seasons go backward from full summer a few days ago to late spring and now early spring.
The rolling hills in Kentucky are just breathtakingly beautiful. Most of our trip was on Interstate highway, so we didn't get a chance to see much of the real Kentucky. Perhaps next time we will do some wandering through small towns and meet some of the people. To me that's the way to travel.
We did get to meet a lady in Kentucky when we stopped for breakfast. I am still following my gluten free diet, and this lady, a cashier at McDonalds, really went out of her way to help! This is quite typical in the Southern States, we have found most people friendly and kind. Until they get behind the wheel of a truck - Karl has a few stories there!
Long day driving. Not hard work, we trade off driving (Karl gets more turns cause he wants me to cook, fair is fair). Difference this time is that we are going home and not heading toward an exciting new destination. Don't get me wrong, we love our family and do miss y'all, but this wandering is fun!!!
So, we ended up at one last trailer park. We have learned that our little heater is enough to keep us toasty warm, so we'll be just fine. Trick is that when we arrived the office was closed. You can self register and we did. There are lots of trailers, but not a single person that we can find! Guess camping in April is not a big thing here, sigh. Oh well, I'll just have to teach Karl another lesson in cribbage.
Believe it or not, we have not watched TV in a month, don't miss it!!
