We had an uneventful trip, except for a side ride to Berea, KY where I had performed in the outdoor drama Wilderness Road in 1974. Had lunch at the newly renovated Boone Tavern. Google Berea College; it's a unique institution. There is no tuition. The students are from Appalachia and are financially disadvantaged; must work for their education. Among other things, they make furniture and run a farm; the produce from which is used at Boone Tavern.
Two unrelated Kentucky quotes :
1. During the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln said. "I hope to have God on my side; but I must have Kentucky."
2. After a two week excursion in the back country, Daniel Boone returned home a little later than expected. People had been worried about him. One asked, "Daniel, were you lost out there?" A proud Boone replied, "Lost? No....but I was bewildered for a while."
Tomorrow we will be flexing our "mussels" for the kids at Hurricane Town Elementary School.
