Day Thirtythree - Jun 27, 2009
Lexington, KY to Morgantown, WV
Daily Didactic
The day began in the glorious Swans Nest B&B in Lexington Kentucky. The Swans Nest is a very large house on twenty acres in high test horse country. Our hostess Rosalie was very gracious, in spite of our confusingly late arrival last night (three hours due to car repair in Mt. Vernon, an extra hour because we can't keep track of time zones). We rose late, and hung out until early afternoon to catch up on didactics that had been delayed by recent days' automotive concerns.
We hit the Kentucky road toward West Virginia, hoping to get somewhere near the top of it by nightfall. Tomorrow at noon we have tour reservations at two homes in southern Pennsylvania built by the famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, Fallingwater and Kentucky Knob. The humidity that dissipated as we drove into Kentucky disappeared by the time we hit West Virginia and the temperature dropped to a very reasonable lower 80s. We tooled through the rolling and treed hills of West Virginia, thoroughly enjoying the change of climate and views. We slowed down in Clarksburg long enough to grab a little dinner and then we were lucky enough to pull into the last site at the Cooper Rock State Park campground for the night.
