Oct 20, 2012 Overcast and cool 59 was the high

The sun just could not break through today but we were die hards and put on all our black leathers to head out for a motorcycle ride.
This area is in the Daniel Boone National Forest. We picked up a Scenic Driving Trails brochure and took one of the small routes around Laurel River Lake. Oh if that sun would have come out it would have been breath taking with the colours of the fall leaves; every shade of red and gold. I did not take any pictures today cause I did not want to take off my nice warm gloves while we were riding. Sorry :( Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and I will get them then. One funny, cheesy thing we did was find the first fast food restaurant in America.
Colonel Harland Sanders and his Kentucky Fried Chicken started here in 1930. He had a small gas pump, motel and restaurant on Hwy 25E. When they came along and put in the Interstate 75 he decided not to let it deter him and he took his restaurants to the franchise level in the 1950s.
When in Corbin you eat the chicken, so we got a couple of meals and sat down to the best KFC we have ever had...... it really was better than the chain stores at home. There is some cool old memorabilia and rooms inside showing the Colonel's artifacts.
