October 5, 2010 - Big Clifty to Bardstown, KY

We left Ben and Wanda's place about 9 a.m. and headed towards Bardstown, KY, a distance of about 66 miles.  It was hard to leave after 3 wonderful nights with them.  The night before we left my cousin Vic treated all of us, including my Aunt Gladys, to a wonderful Italian meal at B.B.'s in Leitchfield, KY.

The ride to Bardstown was uneventful except for the last few miles into town on Hwy. 49 - that road is busy, with no shoulder, and DANGEROUS!  Bardstown is the bourbon capitol of the world; Dana, Fran and Donna went to one of the distillaries for a tasting.  In the evening we went to the Talbot Tavern - had a nice evening and dinner and talked with some of the other guests.  The Talbot Tavern is the oldest stage coast stop west of the Alleghenies.  We stayed at My Old Kentucky Home State Park - nice campground.
