Day 28 Springfield. KY to Hodgenville, KY

Total Stats: 45 Miles, +/- elevation 2,136/2041, Total Miles so far: 867. Weather: mostly sunny mid 80’s.

Thought Illinois was the Land of Lincoln but there are lots of Lincoln historical sites in this part of Kentucky. The Lincoln family lived in and around Springfield and Abraham Lincoln was born in nearby Hodgenville.

Thanks everyone for the comments and encouragement. We are enjoying reading all of them. You are keeping us moving and motivated.

Set up tent under pavilion so no dew to contend with enabling an early start.
Drive through or should I say bike through for breakfast sandwich. Girls jaw dropped when asked were we were going to get reply Astoria, OR.

  2. We are enjoying your posts, not sure we would try something like this. Maybe in our younger days, maybe but I doubt it. We just have to ask, how many flat tires have you had?

    1. Thanks Larry, no flat tires yet! Our tires are something called Schwalbe Marathon Plus. They are known for durability. Downside is they are heavier than normal tires. Mark

  3. You guys are really doing awesome! If I didn’t know better I’d say the pictures of KY (except Berea) in your travelblog were taken in the vicinity of Martinsville, IN. Safe travels.

  6. It appears that you have moved into a more prosperous portion of Kentucky. Makers Mark is my liquor of choice. Would it be too much to ask if you could bring me back a bottle or two from the distillery? 45 miles yesterday was very impressive—nearing the 1,000 mile mark.
