Day Twenty - On the road again

There’s not that much to report about today. We woke up in Kansas City and spent the day driving towards Kentucky. We didn’t plan any stops for today, it was suppose to be purely for driving, and for once we pretty much kept to our plans.

We did, however, still see some interesting things. First, we saw our first coyote today. It leapt right out into the road in front of us. Second, I spotted the “Elvis is Alive” museum on the side of the road. Fortunate for Carl, I only saw it after the exit, so we kept rolling on. Finally, we found ourselves cruising down the highway among a pack of cars participating in the Hot Rod Magazine’s “Power Tour ’07.” It was very cool to be running down the highway and seeing all sorts of new and classic cars traveling in packs.



We decided to camp outside Louisville for the night, and thanks to a glitch in our mapping program, we were treated to a nice little run through the countryside before finally arriving at the KOA. Still, the ride was good, and after looking at the map we realized that the road we were one skirted the land belonging to Fort Knox.

The Louisville South KOA is probably the largest campground we have stayed at on this trip, boasting over 300 spots plus cabins, but bigger does not always equal better. The entire camp services (store, pool, spa, etc) shut down at 8pm, and we actually got kicked out of the pool.

Tomorrow we plan to do a bit of touring in downtown Louisville, and then it’s a long haul home.
