Kentucky Bourbon Trail

In the Finger Lakes area of western New York, people go on wine tours. In the heart of Kentucky, people travel the Bourbon Trail. We knew we wanted to travel through Kentucky and Tennessee as we made our way to Georgia this year and Amy’s newly discovered taste for bourbon made visiting the bourbon capitol of the world a must.

Ohio

We are officially back on the move and have spent the past week plus in Ohio. It’s good to be on the move and experiencing new places. To get from the Rochester area to our first destination in Ohio, we needed a one night stop so we consulted Harvest Hosts for a location and found a gem.

Down East

After leaving Dan’s cousin’s house on the shores of South Twin outside of Millinocket, we traveled about 100 miles southeast to coastal Maine. We setup at Timberland Acres RV Park just outside of Ellsworth, ME and a 20 minute drive from Acadia National Park. We had plans in place to visit with more family and childhood friends.

Camping on the Erie Canal

It has been a while since we last posted so we figured it was time for an update. We are now proud grandparents of a little boy that decided to come into the world a little early. This prompted us to change our plans and get to western New York 2 weeks earlier than we had planned. So, we left our beautiful boondocking site in the Badlands of South Dakota and drove 1500 miles in 2 and 1/2 days to get to the Rochester area as quickly as possible.

Nebraska and The Black Hills

When we left the Casper area of Wyoming and headed to The Black Hills of South Dakota, we decided to route ourselves through Nebraska so we could add that state to our travel map. We stayed at Fort Robinson State Park in Crawford, NE for 2 nights before moving into South Dakota. The weather was beautiful when we arrived in Nebraska but little did we know this would be the last good weather we’d see for a while.
