View from the top of Pine Mountain, north of Harlan, US 119, Kentucky. Just gets better every minute.

I was not sure how I felt about entering this highway. Was this some sort of message. I stopped and did a life inventory. It took about 3o seconds, not much on the shelves. So I moved on.

Getting closer to home as I recognized the Elk River and felt obligated to stop and patronize this establishment...what with the fact that I could not spend any of my beer budget last night in the dry counties of Kentucky.

Early morning sun on, yep, Kingdom Come Parkway. If it was I sign I took it to mean that I could go faster on this great road.

She is now officially named Comet I, and this old 1998 Roadkind has certainly treated me well. I am near 3000 miles on this trip and she has been ridden hard in 105 heat and pouring rain. At the moment it is so dirty I can't tell what color it is, but onward.
