Kentucky Trip update...

Tuesday was a rain day. All Day long with rain, clouds, wind etc. So we did some sight seeing. Tasted Kentucky Bourbon at a Distillery Tour and learned how its made. Tried to visit Gen John Hunt Morgan's gravesite in Lexington and arrived there after the cemetery closed.
Today we arrived at the cemetery early and finished photographing about 150 stones. So that leaves about 50 to do tomorrow. We spent a few hours this afternoon at the Perryville Battle Field. Took a long walk thru part of the park and it was very nice. We visited with the park Historian on Tuesday who connected us with a local man who has studied the Battle of Perryville for many years. His name is Darrell Young and his grandmother is buried in Old Union and he lives a stones throw from there. He may have some pictures of the old church for us and gave us some input on out effort to understand the movement of troops thru the cemetery area and along the Lebanon road.
More later.....
