Tales from the Road, Trip One

Tales from the Road, Trip One

There I am, deep in the hills of kaintucky, driving around looking for cool things to take pictures of. The worst thing about driving the Camry is that most of the time I see something amazing it’s in the back of a field or off the main road with nowhere safe to pull a four-door sedan off without tearing out a CV axle or losing a tire, or in general, ruining the nicest running and looking vehicle I own. I should buy a jeep…

So anyway, I did my usual driving aimlessly as I do now that I’m gainfully unemployed when I realized that three hours had passed on the back roads and I was almost to Louisville. Well, guess it’s time to find something at least. So, while trying to get a bit more used to this new tank of a camera, I hiked down a trail littered with broken bud light bottles and the lookings to be a good ole hootenanny on the river bank to check out a coal barge feeding the large plant downriver. A little town called Ghent, looked like a nice quiet place except for the massive steel hauling tractor trailers screaming down the road to the two mills near it.

So, doing my best to be inconspicuous to the old man fishing and the two crackheads looking for rocks, I snapped a few pics of that sweet looking barge. Look at that humidity in the air, look at that water. What a cool looking area, all the hills and trees. Man, I love the tri-state area up here.

Next time, it’ll be a better shot, I swear.
