more Kentucky

Sorry about no posting for yesterday, I was just to lazy to try and find something to talk about as we both just lazied around most of the day.  Tomorrow we travel on our way to Nashville.

This morning we got out for some more adventures.  Kentucky is known for its Blue Grass music, thoroughbred horses, bourbon, tobacco, and fried chicken.  We have seen/enjoyed all of the above in the past few days except for the last one so today we drove to Corbin, KY to the birthplace of KFC.  We had lunch at Col Harland Sanders Cafe and Court where he developed his secret receipt.  The restaurant counter now is just a modern KFC with the same menu as thousands of others around the world.  The dining area however was in the original cafe with museum displays around it preserving the original kitchen, office, cabin room, and other items.

 There was a ghost in the room.

 

After lunch we drove to the Cumberland Falls State Park to see the falls there.  It was a short but scenic drive from Corbin with a fairly easy walking path to the top of the falls.  I took the path to the lower viewing area but it was too many steps for Jo.

 In the next two you can see the rainbow that is constant in the mist on sunny days.  They say that there is also a moonbow on nights of full moon but it would take special photo efforts to capture that event.  They say that this is the only waterfall on this hemisphere that has a moonbow.

 These next two are from the lower viewing platform.

 Some views of this scenic river.
