Cumberland Falls and Colonel Sanders

Yesterday we took a ride to see Cumberland Falls. What a wild ride, narrow winding road through the Daniel Boone National Forest. And there are RV parks along the way!! Thankfully, we were in the car. These falls are sometimes called the Niagara of the South. We were not to impressed by them, but it was a place to stop and let my stomach settle.

Maybe if we had been there earlier in the summer or even the spring there might have been more water. You could tell the water was low from the debris in the rocks. Found a friend among those rocks below.


Back in the car, we continued on to the little town of Corbin and the spot where Colonel Sanders had his original cafe.


For years, he operated this cafe, motel and gas station along highway 25, which was then the main north and south road from Kentucky to Florida. When they build the super highway 75, he was forced out of business. He was 65 years old and took his first social security check of $105 and went off to peddle his recipe for fried chicken. The rest, they say, is history. All that is left is the cafe, which is now the seating area of the Kentucky Fried Chicken.





Tomorrow, we will be on the move again. First we have to stop at a repair shop. We just had our hot water heater fixed in St. Louis but it is not working now. Again the same situation, it works on the electric side but not on the propane. The part they replaced is under warranty, so hopefully it will not be expensive and will stay fixed. It seems never ending!!
