She is feeling good now and getting around pretty good. Tomorrow we will been going east on I-64 to Cave Run Lake at the Twin Knobs Campground. We will be visiting Nancy's sister Jackie.

We are leaving Cumberland Gap National Park today,heading north.
We have enjoyed these 2 weeks. We have hiked 3 trails and have walked approximately 50 miles. We thought that was pretty good for 2 old folks.
