2017.11.23-Campbellsville, KY

Happy Thanksgiving!  Only one more month to go!!  Our last day is Dec 23!

We will be meeting some other Amazon work campers for Thanksgiving dinner this evening.  We woke up to 25 degrees and frost.  A good day to stay inside and enjoy our newly installed Direct TV.  Yea – TV again!!

Work has kept us close to the coach.  We are so tired after our 10 hour shift that we don’t go anywhere, unless it is to dinner.  😊  Then, on our days off, it is laundry and grocery shopping.  Not much time to explore.

There are not that many choices for places to eat here.  However we have purchased a meal ticket from Campbellsville University.  It’s a pretty good deal - $60 for 10 meals.  At least the salads are fresh and no dishes to do.

We did visit Mammoth Cave National Park a couple weeks ago.  However, after going to the Cave Without a Name in Boerne, TX, we were disappointed in the Mammoth Cave tour, even though it is the largest cave in the world with over 400 miles of tunnels.  We only took one tour, so maybe the others are more dazzling.



We toured a local distillery with our friends, Mark and Kathy from Tennessee.  The Limestone Distillery is not one of the original 8 Kentucky Bourbon tour sites but is one of the very few American owned distilleries still in operation.  This was started by one of the Jim Beam cousins and is the sole provider of bourbon for the famous Mint Julip at the Kentucky Derby each year.  It was so refreshing to go here because it is still family owned and operated.  We were able to see all aspects of the production.  Very nice.
