We left Frankfort, KY at about 8:00 AM heading North on Hwy 127.  At KY 22 we turned East toward I-75 to get to the Ark Encounter near Williamstown, KY.  Andy hated this road; I loved it!  It reminded me of Hwy 30 West from Dayton, TN.  Nice curves that my nephew, Travis would take at 70 MPH + on his Triumph Rocket III (2300 cc’s).  Great road.  The morning hours are the best because of the cooler weather (in fact, we decided to leave earlier tomorrow to take advantage of the coolness).

Two exits S. on I-75 we got off and went to the Ark Encounter (I know, some of you are not great fans of Ken Ham and his view of young earth–still a colossal exhibit.   His primeval chronology is messed up by his misunderstanding of ‘begat’ in Hebrew.  It can mean father, grandfather, great-grandfather, or great, great, etc.).  But Wow.  Look at this:

Andy standing by the Ark and the pile of 12 stones (Yes, I do know what they mean).

Final shot on the way out.  They are still finishing the landscaping obviously.  Good tour through the three floors of the humongous thing.

We got up through Cincy and back on Hwy 127 N and up as far as Greenville, OH for the night.  Great day.  But hot–very hot.  Still going north; maybe as far as Port Huron, MI.  We have decided to visit as many lighthouses on the Great Lakes around Michigan on this trip.  (Why not?  It’s as good an excuse as just driving around Lake Superior, isn’t it?)

A secondary goal is cherry pie in Traverse City Pie Co.  Can’t wait.
