Rainy Day

Somerset, Kentucky

Weather: low 64 degrees, high 70 degrees, cloudy and rainy all day

The wet weather put a damper on some of our plans for sightseeing today. The rain started about 0700 hours, and rained intermittently all day. It never rained hard, but it was the type of rain that is good for soaking the ground. The most surprising thing about the weather today was the high temperature of 70 degrees. Here it is July 22, and we're seeing a high of 70 degrees. We love it.

After breakfast, we took a drive north on US 27 to see what was up that way. In two words, not much. Once we felt we had gone far enough north, we found a back road to take us back to the RV. That's when the real fun started, because we took a road that is narrow, twisty, winding, up, and down. Just the kind of road that is not good for Carolyn. For some reason, the road did not cause her any problems today, and she was able to enjoy the beauty of the countryside we were passing through.

It seemed we passed a little country church every couple miles, along with tobacco, corn, and soybean fields. Cattle raising seems to be big in this area, and there were a lot of hay fields. Many of the people must use wood for heat, because we saw a lot of woodpiles, along with wood already cut and stacked for winter.

By the time we made it back home, we were ready for some meditation and rest. A little road trip in the rain turned into a very nice outing through beautiful country. Tomorrow, we plan to move on to the west toward Glasgow and Bowling Green. More adventures to follow.

More later, be safe.
