Sunday, March 11 - We are now in Bardstown, just south-east of Louisville, Kentucky. We did a thing yesterday I normally yell at Bob Munn for. We drove all the way from 2 hours west of Little Rock through to...not Memphis, but Nashville. Eleven hours in the saddle. Funny how it works that way. I had this thought that if we got to Nashville early enough, and in the right location ,we might go to the Grand Ol' Oprey, assuming there would be a show.

But by the time that we got there, found our r.v. park after a couple of wrong turns, we were done. No thought of going anywhere. No problem! We didn't recognize any of the performers listed for last night except the Oak Ridge Boys, who we saw a few years ago in Galveston. So we settled down, and went to bed rather early. Daylight saving kicking in, plus moving on to Eastern time zone. So we have to start adapting to the time change.

Have to mention the town of Hope in Arkansas. We drove through, having some thoughts that this was where Bill Clinton came from. But lo and behold, the first tribute we saw was to local hero Mike Huckabee. Who'd have guessed. A few blocks further was Bill Clinton Avenue. Hello!! What a contrast of major political figures in one small town. We drove through another small Arkansas town, and saw a building labelled " Ken Duke Golf Academy", he who has won over 10 million on the PGA tour. Surprising what you see when you get off the interstate.

But most of yesterday was on the Interstate, where every third vehicle is a transport truck. One after another they speed their way to their destinations. Generally good drivers, courteous, not like some of the ones we encounter on the 401. So by the time we got settled in Nashville, there wasn't much left in our energy tank.

Today, we chose to go on a minor scenic road from Nashville to Bardstown, and a lovely drive it was. Didn't see one transport all day. Scenic is correct, as it's a lovely drive through the Kentucky hills. By the way, Bardstown has been voted Most Picturesque Town in America, and not just because it's the Bourbon Capital of the Americas. We've been here before, and have enjoyed good tasting of the best bourbons, so if the snow isn't too deep in the morning, we may go over for a wee tour before we head into Louisville. We're scheduled to get the rig winterized some time tomorrow, but if we get a large snowfall, we may be stranded for a day before we get to Louisville. Looking ahead, we still think it's quite possible we'll be home by Wednesday night. Meantime, we've been listening to Buddy Wasisname and The Other Fellas on Spotify in anticipation of Friday night in Kingston.

So that's it. Pray it doesn't snow too much. All for now. More later. Stay tuned,
