It was pouring rain at 11pm when we went to bed last night and it's doing the same at 8am today. This doesn't look good for a day of sight seeing.
Noon: It's been raining steadily since early this morning. Everyone's staying inside. Thankfully, we're well above the Kentucky River that flows beside the campground.

3:00: We took advantage of a brief rain break to attempt some sightseeing.

We drove to Harrodsburg to see Old Fort Harrod State Park. The rain returned before we got to the fort. We got to see the fort from afar (a car in a parking lot). Oh, well.
We drove around the historic district of Harrodsburg. It was established in 1774 and is the first pioneer village built in Kentucky. The downtown/city center is attractive and lined with historic buildings. Many mansions sit on the hills surrounding the downtown. This would be a fun city to come back to.
