Church in Kentucky. Our country’s natural wonders abound in Kentucky. Mammoth Caves Nat’l Park with 392 feet of caves was an amazing site. To venture in the cold depths of the earth—especially on another scorching day filled with humidity levels that begged for rain!
Almost didn’t make it to Branson today…it takes a while and endurance to drive for that long. Did I mention the thunderstorms with heavy winds in Kentucky? Brian kept going but finally pulled over to seek shelter in an abandoned gas station. With rain not as heavy, we proceeded on our way to try to cross the mighty Mississippi. One of the two bridges was closed to DETOUR signage we followed.
Near Branson, our destination, driving in the pitch black is not easy either. Vegas-like billboards flanked our sides for about 10 miles, then complete darkeness again. Then the hills began. Nowehre is posted the grade %, just a sign occacionally that shows a big rig going down the hill. About 35 miles of up and down later, around 1 am we arrived in Branson to beds and A/C. Yeah!
