Hodgenville, KY to Rough River Dam State Resort Park in Falls of Rough, KY - 60 miles
We woke up to an emtpy and clean trailer... how nice! Yesterday we took everything out to clean and repack it. It worked great and the trailer, now more than every, is an extremely functional and key unit to this trips success.
Otherwise, today was nasty. Not a killer ride, fairly easy and we made great pace, But we left in the a.m. in pouring rain and arrived into camp this evening in the pouring rain.
In the middle in was blazing hot with a beating sun. We took one stop for lunch, which left us with about 30 miles to get into camp. As we devoured our chicken tenders and milkshakes from some gas station we watched the weather and thought they were joking with what we saw. A wall of green, yellow, and red was headed our way. Just shy of 4 miles into camp it started to dump on us, with 30 mph winds to boot. We watched a blackening sky for the last 10 miles, in fear of lightning strikes and still pressed on. We made it in fine style for a buffet dinner at the lodge to drive ourselves off. Shower, laundry, wifi... I may be camping but I feel like i'm staying at the Ritz with these amenities.
We also saw some Amish today...
