Kentucky and West Virginia

After my whirlwind night in Nashville I head to Kentucky and spent 3 nights at the Cumberland River State Park which was so lovely. I stayed at the Lodge which rooms had most amenities and cable TV so I could watch Mets games and WNBA Liberty 👍. The park was really beautiful and I did some really nice hikes in the State Park and Daniel Boone National Forest. I then continued my journey northwest and stayed one night in Whitesburg, KY with a stop in Hazard, KY for lunch. The accents here are distinctly different from the south. More twangy and sometimes hard to understand! Kentucky gets A pluses for the condition of their roads, the friendliest people and their state parks. Really an unexpected surprise. In West Virginia I stayed at this interesting campground called the Outpost. It had access to the New River Gorge National Park trails. I did not camp but stayed in this adorable retro camper called “Mellow Yellow”. Needless to say I was humming the Donovan song all the next day while hiking! Just starting to see fall colors in northern WV. Onto Pennsylvania.Read more
