Left Bardstown, KY and drove east across Kentucky toward Huntington, WVA. We passed several immaculate horse farms—beautiful pastures defined by either tidy white or dark brown board fencing. Gently rolling hills. These old farms used to be family-owned but are now owned by corporations or foreign investors. End of an era.
So far, all interstates we’ve travelled on have been REALLY rough!! No money is being spent on highway maintenance!! So tough on us, the motorhome and our dog, Dixie. The motorhome was her first home so she travels well. However, when we hit a rough noisy patch of road, Dixie goes airborne from her chair to my feet! So, up she comes into my lap for some reassurance. Being a rat terrier, she has large ears, built for hearing varmints. This makes her sensitive to any loud noises—they’re amplified. Once the worst is over, she returns to her seat until the next scare!
NOTE: We recommend driving the Bluegrass Parkway from Bardstown to Lexington—beautiful.
Made it around Lexington and east on I-64 to Huntington. The next segment of our trip will be far more restful. We’ve decided to explore the Ohio River Scenic Byway as we head upriver. Our pace will now be more relaxed and we can enjoy the scenery. Might even post some photos!!
1,657 miles driven so far.

Hi guys...so happy to be able to read about your travels. Safe traveling to you. Hugs. Wanda
It will be fun following your adventures. Sarah... I can actually hear your voice as I read your words. We have been to a couple of the places that you mentioned including the Camping World/Gander Mtn. complex and the NPS spa in Hot Springs. As you get farther north, everything will be new to us. Be safe.
