We left Lexington using our alternate GPS because we are so unhappy with the other one. If you were wanting to turn onto KY 121 and the GPS told you to turn on Iron Ore Road, wouldn’t you be a bit confused? We were confused constantly! This GPS is on John’s iPad and at least it give highway numbers but, it too, seems to want to take us down some pretty narrow and winding roads just to save 1 mile! This has caused some confusion and consternation as John doesn’t believe I can read a map well. Anyway, we got to Mammoth Cave, eventually.
Along the way we stopped at the childhood home of Abraham Lincoln. Most of what he experienced as a child was speculation with a few quotes from old Abe. I guess he got into trouble a lot by trying to follow in the footsteps of friends, like falling into a flooded creek and having to be rescued by said friend. The spot where his family lived is marked by a small log cabin and a large building that at one time was a popular road house to drink and dance.
We were worried that we would not be able to find a campsite in the Mammoth Cave National Park, but since we arrived well before the 4th of July, we have a prime spot and nobody can take it from us since it’s a walk-in site you can’t reserve.
