Day 16 - Stanton, KY (Day 3)

We slept late and woke to a sunny, hot day.  It didn't stay that way.

This was a low-key day.  With nothing planned, we just made it up.  

We spent the morning planning our next leg of the trip.  National Geographic's "Kentucky Heartland Drive" is tomorrow's destination.

Then, we headed to Hemlock Lodge at the Natural Bridge State Resort Park for a late lunch.  Hemlock Lodge seemed like an odd name for a place to eat.  We laughed it off and arrived with thoughts of a sandwich.  We ended up enjoying their lunch buffet.  Lunch included dessert and a 79 year-old fellow (waiting for his carryout order) who just needed to talk with someone ... and he did, with us.

We drove around the area after lunch listening to Rachel Maddow's podcast from Wednesday night.

Adjusting to our new way of travelling is more difficult than expected.  We worked on the approach after we got back to the trailer.

The sky started darkening around 5 pm.  Hamburgers came off the grill at 6:40 and the rain started at 6:40.  It's dark.  There's thunder, lightning and rain.  It sure is nice to be safe and dry.
