Day 17: Graveyard outside historic Harrodsburg fort
We liked the wording of the sign: “The pioneers had only rude surface stones to mark their graves.” Why so rude?

Day 15: Clouds at Pippa Passes, Ky.
Morning clouds settle in over a church downhill from the hostel in Pippa Passes. Interesting name, Pippa Passes. I did some googling and came across this poem by Robert Browning (1812 – 1889). It's very appropriate, given the time of year, time of day, and my mood at the time:
“Song from Pippa Passes”
