Our time in Kentucky is just about over. On Tuesday we will pull out of here and start heading to North Carolina. We have had such a horrible time trying to find a place to park our rig this year. I spend around 2 to 3 hours on the phone trying to find somewhere that is not a billion dollars and has an opening. We have paid more this year than I thought we would ever have to pay. The parks are jammed packed and the campsite are really price gouging and obviously they are getting it because the parks are full. RV sales are out the roof as well. We got to Franklin Kentucky and we were there a week. The park was really nice and again it was jammed packed. We stayed at Dad’s Bluegrass Campground.
While we were at Franklin Ky. We went to the Corvette Museum. This is also where the sinkhole was and they have the cars that fell into that sinkhole on display and wow I can’t even imagine. I am not a big car person but I really did enjoy it. It is huge so here are the pictures I took and all you people that love cars…you are welcome. lol
The cars that fell into the sinkhole. 
We really wanted to go to the Mammoth Caves but all the tickets were sold out, so we didn’t get to see them. We did go to a distillery and it was really interesting. We each got to pick what we wanted to taste.
I chose Linkupinch 4 yr single barrel bourbon-cask strength. Linkumpinch 4 yr old small batch -100 proof. American dry gin 91 proof (Juiper, ginger, cassia, coriander, lemon, orange, Angelica root, cardamom, red ale sea salt and licorice root) and Kentucky clear 91 proof (unnamed white dog whiskey) (creamy corn, slightly sweet, spicy smooth start, tart fruit) and pretzels. Curt chose Linkupinch 4 yr single barrel bourbon-cask strength. Blackberry fruit liqueur and Simpson county sour (Kentucky clear, sorghum syrup, dumante pistachio liqueur, lemon juice) and pretzels.
Then another day we went to the Simpson County Museum which was the old Stone Jail and the Wardens living quarters. It was really interesting.
The long slits in the rock is the windows in the jail I guess is what you would call them. They are open to the air outside.
The residence was right by the rock jail. Actually it was in the same rock building. This was a very short desk that was taken off of a ship. The old book on the desk was a very old Bible. I was intrigued.
In the hallway going into the bedroom was these masonic and eastern star things on this chair. Since all our family is in eastern star and are masons and shiners…I had to take pictures of these.
The bedroom was beautiful.
Of course the kitchen drew my attention. Imagine that. This old washing machine was cool.
Look at these prices.
We then walked across the street to the old library and they had some very interesting things to look at. This was the old drive in movie equipment.
The old dentist equipment.
How about this ladies. lol lol
So we left Franklin, Ky and headed to Frankfort, Ky. We are at a very nice campground and it is packed. We had left to go to some sites on Saturday morning and when we returned on Saturday night, this place was packed to the maximum. Crazy.
We went to Noah’s ark and to the Creation Museum and it was so powerful and so mouth dropping, I decided to make a separate blog about both of them. So I hope you will enjoy going with us to those places.
Until next time.
