October 8, 2010 - Berea to Buckhorn, KY

 How lucky we are to be in Appalachia in October! The trees are changing color and are spectacular! Today’s ride, again, had a lot of climbing. The climbs are much longer now – our first big climb of the day reminded us of climbing in Nevada (just not so hot!). When we arrived in Buckhorn (a few homes and 2 country stores with gas stations, plus a school and a church) we noticed a beautiful large log church. We were told it is the largest log cathedral in the world. We were fortunate to be able to see inside of it, and even more fortunate that the pastor happened to be there to tell us the church’s history and give us a tour. It has a huge organ (only four others like it in the world). The cathedral is Presbyterian, but really serves as a community church.
