We're taking a day trip south to the Cumberland Gap today.
On the road at 10:30 am.
Travelled the southern portion of National Geographic's "Wilderness Road Heritage Highway".
First stop: Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. Went to Visitors Center, viewed history film, and drove Skyline Road to Pinnacle Overlook.
Second stop: Drove through the Cumberland Tunnel to Cumberland, TN to visit a Daniel Boone exhibit and an Iron Furnace.
Third stop: Dr. Thomas Walker State Historic Site near Barbourville. Dr. Walker was the first white explorer to find the Cumberland Gap.
Returned home at 5:00 pm having driven 142 miles and set foot in three states ... KY, VA and TN.
Watched Joe Burrow and LSU battle Miami.
