Daniel Boone & Boonesborough, Kentucky







Kentucky is home to Daniel Boone, so we stopped at the monument at his gravesite, as well as the replica town that he built at Booneborough. Fess Parker, who played Daniel Boone on TV looked nothing like the real Daniel Boone. Am posting a photo for you all to see!

On our way to the Cumberland Gap, we took a 2 mile hike UPHILL IN THE HUMID WEATHER! (my goodness, we need our heads examined). Happiness is the top of the mountain after a long climb. We reached the Pinnacle Overlook --- WOW! WOW! WOW! The view from the overlook was almost 270 degrees and we could see for miles and miles --- Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia. Spectacular!



Weather has been HUMID! HUMID! HUMID! Thank goodness for air-conditioning!
