The Drive North

A cool bridge (apparently in the process of being replaced) that we crossed while on our trip.

Driving through the mountains on a two-lane highway presented some pretty scenery.

The cattle sure were enjoying the hillside on this sunny day!

Here we are approaching the Cumberland Gap Tunnel.

We were shifted over to what would normally be the tunnel for the south side of the highway.

A look at one of the mountain peaks we passed before entering the tunnel.

A look inside the tunnel.

Approaching the end of the tunnel!

Open roads...

More beautiful mountainsides.

Harland Sanders Museum and Café

A look at the original "Sanders Café" and the modern (at least inside) KFC attached to it.

The historical marker designating the birthplace of Kentucky Fried Chicken.

A model of the Sanders Court motel.

On the left is the Sanders Café while the Sanders Court motel is on the right. When they were opened the road out front was a main thoroughfare south to Florida.

Another look at Jay with Colonel Sanders.

Tyler couldn't help but goof around, taking a moment to clear Colonel Sanders nose of a little something...

...and then deciding to thank him for his wonderful fried chicken recipe.
