This morning we were a bit disenchanted with truck stops. We were surrounded by refrigeration units last night and to say it was noisy would be an understatement. A poor nights sleep plus heavy rain put a hold on our plans to venture south of I-64 for some sightseeing in the Red River Gorge area (part of the Daniel Boone National Forest) and we spent much of the morning in a quiet rest area west of Grayson recuperating.

Eventually the rain eased an we reactivated our Red River plan. At Moorehead we turned south along the banks of Cave Run Lake and followed a series of narrow twisting roads (accurately described as country roads or maybe even wagon roads) before turning on to state road 77 where we were confronted by Low clearance 12ft 15 miles ahead. That was the end of the Red River plan. We later discovered that the low clearance culprit was the Nada Tunnel built between 1910 and 1912 by loggers.

Nina would not even consider a Loves for tonights camp so we contented ourselves with a highway rest area.
