Another Adventure

We felt that it was time to get out of Wisconsin before winter arrived. Truckin' Man doesn't mind the winter travel as much as I do, but I worry about what our road conditions will be. And, it's easier for our friends to take care of the farm if it isn't blizzarding outside!

So, we headed south! Our first stop in Kentucky was at Cumberland Gap, the first Gateway to the West. We have stopped here before, but love the history and the views, so we visited again.

(Tennessee, Virginia, and Kentucky)

If you enjoy history, the visitor center has so much interesting information about the early pioneers who were here. You can learn all about what Daniel Boone was doing in the area, and other things I really haven't read about since high school history class. While I was somewhat interested back then, I find it all much more interesting today.

Here is a video I found from the NPS if you're intested.

While I love the views so much, I don't like heights, so this is as close to the edge as I was getting!

 And a rare photo of me....

Stay tuned for the next part of our journey!

  3. Oh yes, looks like Kentucky! It's so beautiful here 😀 I've never been to the Cumberland Gap but it is definitely on my bucket list. There's actually a lot of this area I haven't seen yet... One of these days. I can't wait to see the rest of your trip!

    Happy Thanksgiving Kris! 🦃

    1. You do live in such a beautiful state, I would have loved to explored more. The Bourbon trail is on my list for future travels! There is so much to see out there, if only we had enough time to see everything!

  6. I am so happy to travel along. WOW! Your photos are great.
    I like the photo of you. :-)

    Guess what, I made your cranberry orange cookies last night. YUMMY!! They are over 1/2 gone tonight! Thank you for sharing.

    Hope Truckin' Man does not have as much adventure this week at work as last week. ;-) The boys asked me how he was doing in this next storm.

    Happy Thanksgiving!
