Blue moon of Kentucky... and our journey continues...
From PA we stopped in Hagerstown Maryland at a KOA We could only stay one night as they were filled up for the Halloween weekend. KOA’s are expensive but they seem to include some type of entertainment. This campground was doing up Halloween with all sorts of activities.
Once again we had an adventure and did some unexpected sightseeing as we tried to find the campground. We had entered the wrong address so it was our fault and not our toms. We do get to see the back side of the country when we are driving around. We did the same thing the next night when we camped in West Virginia at a Beeker Forks state park
The country roads are hilly, narrow (there are no shoulders) and windy with hairpin turns. It is exciting when pulling the trailer. I thought the Cabot Trail was supposed to be scary… hmm these roads are much more exhilarating.
We had a beautiful drive through the Appalachian Mountains over the Cumberland Plateau. Definitely mountainous up and down with hardwood forests. We saw a few snowflakes… nothing serious.
We are now camped in Lexington Kentucky (the horse capital of the world according to the brochures) at the Kentucky Horse Park Campground. We went to the last horse race of the season at the Keeneland race track. We learned how to place a bet and spent our two bucks each with wild abandon on each race. The crowd was dressed up and the liquor was flowing pretty easily. The weather is sunny and warm,,, very beautiful area with miles of white rail fences and huge homes for the horsey set. Happy Halloween!
