Kentucky Connection ?

We drove through Kentucky in the late 60's, I-75 north, from Tennessee to Ohio, stayed in Lexington. First time we'd ever come across roads called "pikes".
Breckenridge County is tiny, population only 21,000, county seat is Hardinsburg. It's on my bucket list.

I may be biased, but I think Kentucky is the most beautiful state of all. More miles of running creeks, streams and rivers than any other state except Alaska. The most beautiful farmlands and forests, and when you get over in the Appalachians, Red River Gorge and Cumberland the magic gets serious. I love the drive down 1-65 from Louisville best though the I-75 run to Cincinatti ain't too bad, but the backroads of central and eastern Kentucky and Tennessee are pure magic just about everywhere you go, and it's hard to resist stopping in every little town or every lookout point or waterfall or cliff or cave or every bridge over a river. You just want to soak in all the details of one of the oldest and still mysterious regions of the country.
