Time to take the camper out. Headed North into Kentucky to visit the Ark Encounter. We stayed at Kincaid Lake SP. On the way up we stopped at the Army Corps Waitsboro Campground for lunch. From there we headed on to Kincaid Lake. There was nobody working at the campground when we got there. We just found our site and set up. There was nobody in our whole section of campsites. Hiking around the campground there were only about four campers in the other section. We decided on a quick canoe trip for the evening. We put in at the marina and paddled around til dusk. Lot's of stars tonight and then every night that we were out. Saw 2 shooting stars!
Tuesday we took the canoe back out and launched from the marina. We paddled the whole lake and down the river. Beautiful day out on the water. Still nobody working at the campground.
Wednesday we went to the Ark Encounter. It was very interesting and answered a lot of questions that I hadn't even asked about the Ark. This was during the forty days of gospel music so we had music during lunch and then a concert that evening. We stopped and ate dinner in Falmouth, KY at the Howard's Place Resturant. Very good food. Still no workers at the campground.
Thursday we headed to explore the historic town of Augusta, KY. We parked on Main street and walked to the historic jail. It had a phone number to call and we did. The very nice lady from the visitor center gave us a tour of the jail and then gave us a tour of the whole town on her golfcart. It was great! After that we ate our lunch on the bank of the Ohio river and then walked around town looking at all the historic buildings. This is also the town that George Clooney is from. Later we put the canoe in the Ohio river and paddled up Bracken Creek, passed the two donkeys and then turned around. Nobody working the campground.
Friday we packed up and headed out. We drove to London, KY and stopped at the Levi Jackson Mill to have our lunch. After eating we walked around the mill and then decided to stay. We camped at the Levi Jackson Campground. We walked their little trail and then went to the pool for a swim. After dinner we hiked around the park.
Saturday we decided that we really did need to go home so we did.
