The hills are getting steeper and longer and the chasing dogs are getting more plentiful. On the positive side we are lucky to be heading into Appalachia in October as the leaves are changing; it is really beautiful. Today Dana and I rode together from Harrodsburg to Berea, KY, a distance of about 51 miles. We are staying together through this part of the country as it is very easy to get lost, and the atmosphere is a bit "foreign" to us.
Berea is a beautiful college town and the center of Appalachian art. We really enjoyed walking around the town and going the the Kentucky Artisan Center. We had dinner tonight at the Boone Tavern which is owned and operated by Berea College. The college is unique in that the students are not charged tuition and work on campus to defray their expenses.
