Wilderness Road

Day 9

Berea, KY - Danville - Springfield, KY - 65 miles

Relatively easy day which included a stop at a bike store in Danville and then finally reaching a county that serves alcohol. Spent night in another little league ballfield dugout. Luckily this time there were no games in progress so we slept well. We have been travelling on the Wilderness Road since the Cumberland Gap, one of the original routes to the west.

Day 10 -Springfield - Loretto - Makers Mark Distillery - New Haven (in progress)

Morning tour of the Makers Mark Distillery as we continue to revel in our escape from the prohibition counties. We officially celebrated our triumph over the Appalachians yesterday. Land starting to look a lot like the midwest, as the mountains have flattened out into hills. The deep dark hollers, attendant hillbillies and the banjo tune from Deliverance that was our soundtrack has shifted to rolling hills, quaint towns, brass bands, hay, corn and nice people willing to help.
