Cavedog Running

We had a nice easy day today. Drove more than I would have liked, but it was worth it. We started out at the visitor center in Elizabethtown then drove to Hodgenville to visit Abraham Lincoln's birthplace and his boyhood home. Lincoln lived at his birth home his first two years at Sinking Spring Farm until a land dispute forced the family to move to Knob Creek Farm where the family moved due to another land dispute to Indiana.

The Elizabethtown area is awesome. The area is beautiful with fantastic scenery and nice towns. Driving is fun on the hilly, curvy and fast. Everyone drives these roads going at least 60-65 MPH!

After we got back to camp and had dinner, I actually got out for a 30 minute run around the surrounding neighborhoods. The people here are very friendly and I didn't hear a single "Run Forrest, Run" the whole time!

Tomorrow, we will be off to Mammoth Cave to take in a cave tour.
