This part of KY is absolutely beautiful but not within walking distance. We are a few feet from Interstate 75 and all I can see are Hardees, McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, Shell, BP, and Family Dollar Store. The Hampton Inn and Holiday Inn Express were both full so we are at Comfort Inn :-( At least I have wi-fi! I would definitely be crazy without it.
