Lost Texan Adventures-Day 7

Day 7-Saturday, June 22, 2013
Departing Kentucky

We popped down, packed up and headed out of Mammoth Cave National Park. 

A great time was had by all, and we have had a blast camping all week, but when you run out of clean underwear and bottled water, you know it's time to pack it up and head home-haha! 

We ventured Eastward through the lush green rolling hills on the Kentucky Bluegrass Parkway. This is Bourbon country-there are distilleries everywhere. Even though we don't touch the stuff, we figured "when in Rome, do as the Romans" so we went in search of a distillery to tour. The next thing you know, we saw signs for the Wild Turkey Distillery. Our timing was perfect-they were just starting a tour when we got there. We saw all the behind the scenes processes and where they store all the whiskey barrels, and then we got to have a tasting. We bought an obligatory bottle and a 'Wild Turkey Bourbon Ball' scented candle. 
I could've done without the bourbon, but of course my trip wouldn't have been complete without the candle-lol.






A short while later, we were back on the road for our last little stretch into WV. 

We were all excited to see the house, unload and get settled. 

To be continued...
