We mucked around a bit this morning, both really tired from lack of sleep. We didn\u2019t get away until just after 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">It was another day of lots of driving, but at least the scenery is getting better. As we crossed into Kentucky, it became very green. Lots of green trees, large houses, and everything seemed to look so much cleaner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">I saw a place called \u201cLand between the Lakes\u201d coming up. I\u2019d heard about it, and thought it might be a nice place to find a camp, as I\u2019m getting sick of Walmart carparks. It was almost 4pm, so we turned off to have a look. It\u2019s really beautiful with lots of little inlets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">We found a spot to camp at Taylors campground, a primitive camp for only $5 a night. It\u2019s gorgeous. When we arrived the lake was calm, and a deer stood out on a headland, perfectly reflected in a standoff with a crane. By the time I got my camera to take a photo it had gone. This is the perfect place to spend a few days and explore by kayak. After we\u2019ve finished visiting family, we may come back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">It\u2019s still hot, and since we got to Kentucky it is now humid. We sat outside and rehydrated with beer. Mike had zero Guinness and I had zero Corona with lime. Both taste like real beer, without the hangover. Mike cooked up some beef with honey, garlic, soy, noodles and vegetables for dinner outside. I think it\u2019s our first meal we\u2019ve cooked. We\u2019ve just been settling for salad wraps in the evening as it\u2019s easier. We were both so tired we were in bed by about 8pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We awoke late in the Walmart carpark, thankful we hadn\u2019t been attacked in the night.
