Bye-Bye Kentucky and Marathon Man

Sparky got up at the crack of dawn this morning, 6:30 AM (E. says that's early for her!) to capture the sunrise playing its light on some Kentucky tobacco barns....You don't see this very often--tobacco leaves hanging to dry.... I need to get up earlier...I love the way the sunlight illuminates objects in the morning. These were taken about 7:00 AM....

I loved this barn on the bottom, the shape is different from all the rest...I'm sure that has something to do with letting air circulate to aid in drying the tobacco leaves....

We enjoyed our visit very much to Mammoth Cave Campground and the caves themselves....I'm sure we will be back to hike the trails the next time around, right honey? (Uh, right, dear!) Speaking of deer, we saw LOTS of deer running around the park while we were here....We didn't see the big buck that one of the campground workers told us about, but the two apples Sparky just happened to forget to eat or bring inside mysteriously disappeared....

I know deer are just so common, what's the point of taking pictures of them? But I still find them pretty! Especially first thing in the morning.....

We left at 8:00 AM this morning and Eldy drove EIGHT HOURS straight--he wanted to get halfway to Gulf Shores, AL and decided if we got an early enough start, we'd be able to get to Montgomery, AL and hooked up before sunset, and we did! He's the Marathon Man of RV fame! Wait till you see the beautiful COE campground we found near Montgomery! We'll tell you all about that tomorrow......See you then!
