MARCH 2, 2017 Thursday.
We were taking a way home that we haven't driven in awhile. This way we can go without passing through (l)ouisville. There is no excuse for what they did with that Confederate statue. I will continue to stay out of this place.
We took I-24 the short distance into Kentucky and then got on the Pennyrile Parkway. This is always amazing in that, unlike Illinois, when the Pennyrile Parkway was established as a toll road, it was understood that it would cease to be a toll road once it was paid for. In 1992, it was paid for and the toll booths removed. That would NEVER happen in Illinois!!
The Pennyrile Parkway was the original name, but now the name of Kentucky's 51st governor, Edward T. Breathitt. I was uinable to find out how it came to be called Pennyrile, though there is a state park by that name.
The Pennyrile Parkway runs alongside and on the US-41 and near the northern end is signed as I-69.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
