Cumberland Gap, Kentucky

Stopped for lunch in the picnic area here - very beautiful at this time of year. Watched a short movie about Daniel Boone blazing a trail through the Gap and another about the Gap

On the way home we got caught in a storm and I don't know how Sue drove through it. You couldnt see any distance in front of the car and then the lightning started - very scary! But we made it home and its good to be back in Bardstown.Read more
