What a wonderful day. We began our day with some lunch from the gas station down the street. Yeah, that might sound funny, but the gas station sells fried chicken that is better than any chicken we have had near home! After lunch, we headed down the highway in search of Big Bone Lick state park. Honestly, we sought it out because we thought the name was hilarious, but we ended up really loving what we found.
One of the cool things about this park is the "outdoor museum" that has huge statues of wolly mammoths and elephants. Evendently, a very long time ago, these huge animals came to this park in search of salt licks. Sadly, when they got here, they walked right into swamp land and became stuck. So, the outdoor museum is like a tribute to all the animals who died in search of salt.
As we hiked on, we saw signs that said "bison viewing area". We assumed the bison would be statues just like the elephants and mammoths, but as we came to the end of the trail and approached a field, we found out those bison were actually real! After our hike we hit up the gift shop and then headed on down the road.
Our next stop was Rabbit Hash. This town is so cool! It is one of the smallest towns in Kentucky, as a matter of fact, its so small, the mayor is actually a dog! Her name is Lucy Lou! Unfortunately Lucy wasn't around today, but we still had a great time walking around the little town.
After that, we headed back home where we made breakfast for dinner. And now, we are totally beat! Hopefully we will have more adventures to share tomorrow!
Till then...
