We're here in Munfordville, KY and we just woke up after a good nights sleep. We crashed at a really nice park under a bridge next to the Green River. Yesterday was fantastic as we had the opportunity to visit Heaven Hill Distillery where they make Evan Williams, Henry McKenna, and Elijah Craig bourbons. They offered us a free tour and tasting which made us all giddy as schoolboys. I found every aspect of the distillery incredibly interesting not because of my exuberant love of whisky, but because of the magnitude of operations going on there. The bourbon was delicious though.
We made a stop in Danville to get our bikes tuned up and get some last minute parts before the long stretch of nothingness. While we were waiting we met a really stand up chap named Nate who not only bought us a round of Goose Island, but borrowed a friends car and drove us 15 minutes to get it. (Thanks for the hospitality mate. You represented your town and Centre College very well.)
So after an 80 mile day yesterday and a good nights sleep, we're heading a little off route to see the greatness that is Mammoth Caves. Now this is what keeps me going. I don't know if we'll be able to take the whole tour because none of us had brought hiking boots with us, but we should be able to see a great deal in the time allotted. So thanks for tuning in and I hope to hear from you later.
Andrew stay away from copperheads, and samalanders.

Hi Son,
Glad to hear where you are and that you are taking time to see things such as Mammoth Caves that are off the route. I knew you would stop to visit a Bourbon distillery. Mom and I shaved our heads this week-we look like the cone heads.
Love, Dad
