Thursday, August 6, 2015

Left at 8 this morning.  Could not go through Charleston, WV before 9 am.  After we got through there had to stop at the TA truck stop in Hurricane, WV and wait for my Kentucky permit.  An hour and a half later it arrived and we were back on the road again.  Once in Kentucky the State took us way off the interstate almost back up to Ohio then back down to Lexington.  It took forever to get through there.  It was mostly a 2 lane road with a wide shoulder most of the way.  The last part was 2 lanes with no shoulder and a drop off on either side.  Also had low hanging trees on both sides of the road.  So I had to keep from falling off the side of the road, keep from hitting oncoming traffic AND keep from hitting the trees.  Made for a fun drive.  Just beat the Lexington curfew.  

Shortly after we got on the Blue Grass Parkway we came upon what looked like a head on crash with a fatality. Fortunately it was on the other side.  


Looks like the minivan next to the ambulance was hit head on by the car in the median.  The fatality was (obviously) in the car in the median.


Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Glendale, Kentucky.
