Enjoyed your tips on Kentucky, Johan. We used to live in Ft. Mitchell, Ky. many years ago...it was more urban than rural. You captured the rural part accurately! Regards from Texas...

55 speed limit in the area you see behind the sign?I live on a narrow 2 way lane,curvy as can be we have a 55 speed limit too. And belive me the coal trucks sure stick to it. Most people here wouldn't think of doing 45 on them. :)
