Paducah, KY


I am enjoying my visit here so much.  Haven't gone out much at all but just have had a wonderful time yakking away with my aunt and uncle.  Also, my genealogist cousin came by and drove me around Paducah some, but he was having trouble with his Jeep so we didn't go far.

A real treat was having a visit from Caryn, who blogs as "Night Sky", and who drove up from Tennessee and met me for lunch at the Flamingo Restaurant:

 I couldn't resist taking a photo of this little darling at the restaurant.  I was told it was a "she":

I wanted to catch up a bit, and will try to make another post tomorrow to bring you up to where I am tonight.  I'll no doubt be back in Paducah for another couple of nights before moving on towards California.

- Cumberland Gap To Western Kentucky
Leaving the Smokies I saw this beam of sunlight and wasn't sure if I could get a picture of it, but I did.   The following are some random shots from the walk up to the Pinnacles at Cumberland Gap.   I took a picture of my tent site...
