Shepherdsville, KY

Long drive today with a good sized thunder storm.  Some really pretty lightning flashes but teeming rain.  The rock walls that were cut through to create the road were neat.  You could see distinct layers in the wall.  One of the tour books said something about it being an ocean at one time.  Many gorgeous horse farms along the way (think Kentucky Derby).  We also passed the Bourbon Trail which has two well known distilleries--Four Roses and Wild Turkey.  The price of gas seems to be going down also.  It has been holding steady at $3.75 but today we saw it as low as $3.50 that is welcome news for us.  Plenty of things to do in the area so we will stay here until Sunday.

We are staying here at Grand-ma's campground.  Very clean and a few small trees. Also quite cheap.  We are surrounded by huge RVs but they block the sun for us so we don't mind.

There is a field with donkeys (mules?) and llamas right next door.  I love this little baby one (above) and would love to take him home to Vivian.  She would love him and they are for sale :-)  The owner takes them out for a walk with a little cart.  He said it was a mule, not a donkey. Not sure what the difference is but there is one.  Until tomorrow.....
GO BRUINS!
