Kaaaaaaaantuckey

Well we've done it! Today we crossed over the Ohio river into Kentucky! There are now only two states left, albeit long ones but still! we're close! Our crossing into Illinoise was somewhat treacherous but we made it okay. That night we stayed at a small place up the Tunnel Ridge bicycle path. Getting there was quite Intresting as we had to first ride through an old railroad tunnel. Approaching the tunnel it looks simple, you can even see the hole of light on the other side. However as you get closer and closer to the center you can see less and less until all you have to focus on is the light dancing in front of you as you try to not swerve into a wall. finally we got out of the darkness and to our campsite. which was a shack on the side of the trail where a man left things out for you to take and leave money for on the honor system. The man showed up later and ended up being a really cool guy who just loved to meet people from other places. That night we slept in a shed out back where we were able to fit all 5 of the people who we are riding with. Next morning brought us a beautiful day and a good ride into the Amish country of South West Kentucky.
