Getting to Kentucky

Tuesday night we set off for Kentucky as soon as I got back from work. Instead of going out through New York State and down through Ohio as we've done several times before, we decided to go south through New Jersey and Pensilvania, then turn right in Maryland and go through West Virginia. The milage wasn't very much different, there were less tolls, and we had never been that way before.
But, it went through Connecticut. We should have remembered this means traffic.
And, it did.

The good news was that, unlike the week before, it was only a short slow down not a stop for an hour.
Soon, we were going through New Jersey.

We cut sideways across New Jersey into Pensilvania where we stopped for the night.
In the morning we were driving through the PA farmlands near where they filed "Signs".

We knew we had driven a long way, but hadn't realized we had drive all the way to Scotland.

That bridge across the Atlantic really speeds past. But, we came back and went through the Appalachian mountains instead.

It is pretty easy to tell where the highway goes through the mountains.


Even with the hole through the mountains, you're still a fair ways above the land to the sides.

There were signs about bears and deer, but we didn't see any. Sad.

We stopped for lunch and gas in West Virginia. I guess the Wendy's there have to use lower case L's. It took me a minute to realize that was the problem.

As we were there, this strange thing went shooting down the train track. Don't know what it was.

We also found there is a whole chain of "Tudor's Biscuit Worlds". I have no idea what it is as we had never heard of them before.

Maybe next time we'll try one.
They even have their own car.

When we got to Kentucky we still had a ways to go. There was one section of at least 10 miles where it was just one lane.

I don't think they can do any construction anywhere else in Kentucky as they used all the safety barrels there.
But, we finally got here.

Now, we rest. Then more visiting tomorrow.
