May 17th Hazard to Booneville, KY 43 miles

Mmm, hamburger helper.

The shelter complete with shower & bathroom

Daily milkshake fix

We're starting to get really discouraged and fed up with Kentucky. It was one thing in Virginia to have to deal with terrain that we are hardly in shape for- but at least the people were friendly & we felt safe. But here in Kentucky we feel unsafe, creeped out by the toothless smokers staring at our spandex laden booties, the road are narrow and very isolated, the trash is heavy, and the dogs are ruthless. All in all we could say that no, we are not enjoying this portion of our trip. It was more riding, more hills, more of the same. The highlight of the day was a milkshake at the Dairy Bar. We did make it into Booneville, where there was a nice church that had built a shelter for cyclists & a nice grass area to pitch tents. We were the only ones there & felt a bit isolated. Ready for a change!
