Waverly Hills Sanitorium and Fort Knox

Didn't do much today except for way more driving than I had planned. We ended up going to Louisville again so that I could drive the way Jenny needs to go to get from the starting line at Iroqouis Park to the finish in downtown. This is the first time I have done a point to point course. On the way to Louisville, we stopped of at the entrance to the Waverly Hills Sanitorium. If you watch "Ghost Hunters", then you know all about this place. Unfortunately, the gate was closed and the only way to go in is with a scheduled tour. We could barely see the building at the gate, so we drove into a sub-division at the base of the hill and got a little better look. The place is huge. Maybe next time we come up, we will take a tour. We stopped off at the race expo to pick up short sleeve shirt that I can actually wear in Florida and found Jenny a Univ. of Kentucky shirt. We then headed to Fort Know on a wild goose chase to find a Tim Horton's that should be there. I am guessing that it must be inside the army base.

Finally sitting down to have a big spaghetti dinner and get ready for the race in the morning. The weather is still looking nasty, but the rain may get through by race time. With the temperatures going to be in the 60's, I would just about rather it rain to keep cool.
