No shorts today! Bring out the sweat pants and sweater! The beautiful winding roads lead us to Fort Boonesborough State Park in Kentucky. We had a wonderful tour of two forts, the original fort and the reconstructed fort. Soap and candles are made at the Fort and sold. So much history!! Too many photos to share on this blog.
My Dad wanted to visit his home state of North Dakota for the 4th of July rodeo and to visit the Badlands then to Deadwood, SD. My husband, my Dad, and I began our two week adventure from South Carolina.
Our first day was tough! A seven hour trip to Richmond, Kentucky turned into nine hours of hard traveling due a detour caused by an accident and road contruction mixed a couple down pours of rain. All that beIng said we did see some beautiful scenery along the way.
Ashville, North Carolina mountains are always beautiful.
I love the rocks in the cut away of the mountains. 
The roller coaster ride or kiss my $#! curves highway in Tennesse will give your buttock muscles a good workout as you sway back and forth in the truck! Move over vibrational exercise machine!!!
Into the tunnel, through the tunnel, and into the light.
Dinner time at our first night destination Richmond, Kentucky. See the sign on tbe post to the right of my Dad? Check it out at neighborly sign
We were so happy to arrive at our first destination and even happier to stretch out in our hotel beds after a good dinner. Resting up for tomorrow’s big adventures!

As we were bouncing (I do mean BOUNCING – these roads are rough!) along the highway in Illinois we passed a series of signs. Sorry I was not fast enough to get my camera out before our truck running like the speed of light passed the signs!
The first sign really caught my attention wirh these word “When thugs attack”. My first thought is ‘What?’ .
In that little micro – second as I am wondering why someone put up that sign, the second sign appeared.The second sign read “and you can’t run”. My thought was ‘okay…..???’.
The next sign appeared “defend yourself”. At this point I am imagining the next sign to be an advertisement for a self defense class.
Imagine my surprise as we passed the last sign “with a gun”!!
Yeah..that “made my day”!
