Breakfast Of Wanderers


I left Lake Loramie about 4am so I could get beyond Dayton and Cincinnati before rush hour. It worked. I stopped at a visitors center just inside of Kentucky for "The Breakfast of Wanderers." Coffee, chocolate and cheerios, yum! It's even worse than you might think. The chocolate in the cheerios are actually chocolate covered coffee beans and there's chocolate milk in my coffee. I admit it I'm an addict, but, I'm not looking for a cure.
I bypassed Lexington on the Bluegrass Parkway. The farms around there are beautiful with their sweeping fields and dark-stained wooden fences. No signs of spring yet, but I'm sure both the plants and foals are ready to burst out at any moment.

I spent the night at the Hillman Ferry campground in the Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area. The campground had only just opened that day for the season and I was given a great site right next to the lake. This area is supposed to be great for birding, but it must have been too early in the season because I only saw a couple of crows and a pair of Canada geese.
