Wednesday, July 15th Goldrush in Kentucky

Wednesday, we decided to go check out the Kentucky Horse park, just down the road from the campgrounds. Man of War was buried there, there was a Thoroughbred museum and a working horse farm. You could spend hours there. 2010, Lexington will hold the World Equine Fair, first time in the United States.

We took off for a ride and found some really nice roads, up and down hills covered with a canopy of trees. We saw some beautiful areas of Kentucky.

There were many farms with horses and either the white or black wooden fences surrounding the farms. We stopped to get a drink of water at a gas station and the raindrops started, so we returned to the campgrounds. The rain caught up and we holed up in the campers for awhile. The shower didn't last long and we soon were all out at the picnic table in the shade. We went to supper at SAMS, a truckstop restaurant with really good food. They also serve a local favorite, Kentucky Browns... a large plate of 1/2 sandwich of turkey, covered with bacon, cheese, onion and more.

Congratulations to Rick for winning a trophy at the Bike show.

Pam and Bob had left early to go on down to see family since they were so close.

We had a relaxing evening at the campgrounds and enjoyed visiting with others.

A couple of vendors from the convention center, had heard about our "giant" campers and came out to see our Bunkhouse. We had the 8 X 10 add-a-room set up with the camper and they were amazed to find out that we had a king size bed and air conditioner. They were from Alabama and said they had started the first GWTA chapter in Alabama. We enjoyed their visit.

While doing laundry, we visited with a couple from Canada that were vacationing and wanting to see horses. We also visited with a gentleman from Denmark that was traveling. He loved the motorcycles and said the people in the United States were so friendly, helpful and interesting.
