West by North Day 2 part 1 of 3

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.

 

West by North Day 1 Treking the USA

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. rocks
