Kentucky to Indiana to Kentucky

My brothers snuck out to get coffee while I was sleeping, but failed to account for the timezone so I found them waiting for the hotel breakfast folks to get set up when I finally did get out of bed. I pulled the short straw on the rollaway but slept like a baby anyway. Today we are heading north so we picked a long road (Rt79) and only one number so we didn't have to keep track of lots of turns. We are trying to get positioned so we can intercept the 100 year old motorcycle race, somewhere in Ohio.We are seeing a lot of corn and tobacco being grown and the harvesting has begun. Barns are stuffed with tobacco leaves drying and the corn is dry in the field and they must be picking the ears off. We always cut corn green and stored it in silos green, so I'm not sure what happens when you leave corn to dry in the field.
No more dead armadillos so that must have been a Missouri thing.

We crossed the Ohio River at Brandenburg and the road name changed to Rt135. We wanted to miss the city of Louisville so headed north until we got north of it, and then east. Indian started to flatten out, more rolling than hilly and more big field crops (no tobacco). Soy and corm by the looks and I saw some sorghum. At Salem we headed east above Louisville and then hit the Ohio river again. This is a big river and a lot of fancy homes are built on bluffs overlooking the rive. There are 2 lane bridges (old ones) that cross here and there and people setup campers on the shore. I am guessing they set up for the summer. A lot of tough looking camps and homes are on the banks as well. We rode on Rt 56 all along the river bank and went through some nice old river towns with lots of restored brick buildings with sidewalks. You can just feel that these were happening towns back 100 years ago doing all of the rivers business. We crossed back into Kentucky and let Dave's GPS weave us through the crooked back roads until we got to Dry Ridge where the interstate goes through and the usual mix of motels can be found. The towns near the river seem to be cleaned up pretty well. I am guessing tourism is supporting lot of the restoration.
Tomorrow we go north again and since they do not publish the Cannonball race course, we will have to guess where they are riding through. Stay tuned..
