Green Belt

Owensboro, Kentucky and onto Lawrenceville, Georgia

The next stop was supposed to be Louisville, Kentucky to see Stacy’s brother Scott, who we haven’t seen in too many years. Unfortunately, scheduling and weather made us push on early. Getting to Owensboro mid-day, we popped in to see Ben’s uncle and aunt at their obgyn practice and then hung out with them and Ben’s cousins overnight at their home. I walked the 'Green Belt' with the girls. We loved being with Ron, Vicky, Mary, David & Elizabeth. Again a short visit, but wonderful to see these guys; they all have such bright spirits. Leaving Owensboro quickly the next morning, we hoped to beat the large rain into Lawrenceville, Georgia, near Atlanta, and back to Ben’s dad’s house. It would have been great to stop overnight in Nashville, Tennessee area, but it was supposed to downpour all through the night and the next day, so we rode on. Fortunately, we picked beautiful roads near to the highways and spent the day on a gorgeous ride through the countryside and through small towns established in the early 1800’s.
