Road Trip Aug 8-15

Better late than never on getting these loaded....
We started out on Saturday morning... heading to Oneonta for Matthew to visit a college....
Please note there were 2 fawns next to the parking lot at the college. It was a nice visitation with the college... but Matt still has a ways to go before he makes a decision.

We left there and headed down to PA/NJ border to camp at Ken's moms place... Nancy and Jim meet us as well and brought dinner... it was quite tasty.

The boys worked on scrubbing the gunk off the outside of Jean's trailer. The next day we were on the road after brunch.












Drove by several gigantic horse places... go figure!


Wigwam hotel in Kentucky






Ken at the Green River in Mammoth Park


Matthew and Mackenzie at ferry/boat dock on the Green River





One car ferry on Green River



Entrance into Mammoth Caves
It was about 90 outside and about 50 in the caves... You can feel a good airflow through the area near the entrance to the cave.









Crossing into Cincinnati, Ohio from Kentucky



Crossing river between Ohio and West Virginia

We decided that after driving through NY, PA, MD, WV, KY, and OH that PA highways are the worst.... horrible driving on those roads.

Dogs relaxing after getting tangled up with the broom. To bad they don't know how to use one.
