We Made it to Kentucky

Aaron being silly at the Home Place restaurant YUMMY


The Breaks Interstate Park


KY state line


Aaron saves a box turtle




We finally made it to KY and the mountains continue AHHHH. Today we biked 63 miles which is the longest day yet. We hope to pick up with our miles once the riding gets easier which it should in Berea KY. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous but at times we feel like we are in a foreign country it is sooo different here. One thing which has been a bit scary are all the dogs. Aaron had to hit one with his bike today...the dog went flying it was crazy. I actually feel very sad for the animals down here and have wanted to take a couple along with us. We have saved three turtles and one kitten which the park ranger said was probably thrown out a car window which he says is common. The poor baby had a broken foot and infected eye and was sooo hungry he ate a whole can of tuna. Anyways sorry to get depressing it is late and I am rambling. Tomorrow we are on our way to Booneville KY to another hostile and closer to IL. Well that is about it on this end. We will keep you all updated thanks for all the support. Love ya
