I am having difficulty with my front derailleur. The shifting is not working well at all. Spokewrench worked on it until after dark but it was still not working so we decided to get some sleep and try again in the morning. When the alarm rang at 5:30, it was very foggy. We slept in a little and then we got up around 7:00, Spokewrench went to work on the derailleur again and got it working. We went up (and I do mean up) to the State Park Lodge for breakfast. We left the restaurant and headed down to the Ohio River ferry and crossed the river. Watching the driving of the tugboat is interesting. It must take quite a bit of practice. Matching up the ferry with the dock perfectly must be quite a trick with the river moving and the ferry moving. Anyhow the driver managed to get it done, so we rode off the ferry into Kentucky. Although it was another hot day (very hot), we got along pretty well with the hills of Kentucky. The hills didn’t seem as steep and long. We were riding on pretty much traffic-free roads most of the day. We had originally planned a shorter day because of campground availability, but we decided that we would go for a longer day and a motel. So here we are at the Microtel Inn and Suits after a refreshing shower and a swim in the pool. Ahhhh!!!!
Question of the day: Living in Indiana, we are called the Hoosier State, what is Kentucky called?

Glad to see you are safe and heading 'up' the road. I got in 30 miles this morning before breakfast. On my way back in I passed an Amish Farm that had over 100 buggies in the field. People everywhere, walking, driving buggies and riding bikes. A very big funeral. It is HOT here and it rained all around us but not on us. We are supposed to be cooler tomorrow. I don't see much mention about wind this time around...but I'm sure the hills are making up for it :) Be safe out there...looking forward to your next post!
