Cool, Im glad you enjoyed your trip through Kentucky. Unless you veered off the interstate you probably didnt see much of my region of Ky. By the way I love Texas.
Paintsville Kentucky?

hah!
i think you misunderstood me. i am not from texas but from the northeast.
went to austin on vacation which we enjoyed.
we also went to memphis, tn. which was interesting. we saw graceland. after seeing elvis in concert in 1975 and deeming it to be probably the most exciting concert i have ever attended, (and i was not a fan in particular), we thought we should make the trek.
the most interesting thing in memphis was the civil rights museum. you approach a tall brick wall, turn a corner, and there was the site where mlk was shot. just stunning and overwhelming, as i remember all of the news pictures firsthand.
but ky, on our way home was certainly the most beautiful part of our trip and far too short. -

Thanks, Im glad you feel that way. Which highway did you travel through KY? Where did you enter and where did you exit the state?

oh man, i already threw out my trip-tik.
but i think we went through on I-65, from the south past bowling green, and then veered east toward lexington where we stayed for a night. then on through ashland on our way to west virginia. -

Cool, the road from Lexington to Ashland is kinda scenic. My Dad's family originated from Ashland and Grayson Ky. The real heart of Eastern Kentucky is about 60 miles south of Ashland. There the hills are much higher and more rugged. Along the border with Virginia the mountains are much higher. Im glad you had a good trip.
