I do go through western KY a few times every year.
I’m a little biased...I think most of KY is beautiful country :-)
Have not been to the rest, sorry!
Still working in St Louis, family is in Georgia. Your Troopers are very nice! Got caught doing 90 in a 70 on hwy24 and was given a warning. If eastern KY is as pretty as western KY, you are blessed. Am watching Bevin, hoping he is as good as I think he might be.
