K e n t u c k y 8


k  e  n  t  u  c  k  y  8

ky 8 is named the mary ingles highway for part of its length. It is rumored that she was the first white woman in kentucky. captured by Indians in virginia in 1755 and taken to ohio, she later escaped a salt-making party at big bone lick and made her way across the kentucky wilderness back home to virginia. i wonder if she used this ship. It would probably take me years to fully investigate and explore the details and history of route 8, but i could hang around here all day long. the people are sweet, the gas pumps aren't pre- pay and the air is clear. it's funny walking the line of the river with a toddler clinging  to your leg. her stories are quite different than mine and the only thing to look out for are the "pirate ships". ones with satellite dishes that is.
