Backroads: Millin' n Lochin'

Took a backroads trip with Kat Winsemius and made an outter half circle of Lexington for a total of ~90 miles. It was amazing and full of adventure. We started at Weisenberger Mill and made our way across to the Kentucky River Loche located at Clay’s Ferry. We had Max and Zoe with us and they had a blast. We got our feet wet under a bridge, walked on a waterfall, hunted for rocks and other things, played fetch with the dogs, visited a castle and drove in the court yard drive only to be chased off by some grump of a aging man, checked out a burnt air liner, watched a jet plane land, jumped an eight foot fence, walked across a loche, traversed the whole way in an automobile, and took some ~400 pictures along the way.

During all the fun we took pictures of our dogs being cuties, my car, the mill, my car, the loche, my car, a few smiles, my car, and everything else we could, including my car. Oh, did I mention I took some great photos of… … my car?
