Day 39- Elizabethtown to Owensboro

We're off route here in Owensboro because they are just so few motels
on this section of the Transam. We'll have the same problem tomorrow,
so we're planning to ride about 100 miles along the trail and then
ride in the truck to a motel a few miles off route. This morning, we
rode to a little place called Cave In Rock, where we had to take the
ferry to Kentucky. We had breakfast first though, and looked at said
cave in the rock. Once in Kentucky, we still had a lot of miles ahead
of us. This part of Kentucky is actually quite pretty (more rolling
hills) and relatively affluent, so we had almost no dogs chasing us.
On the last 30 miles, big thunder clouds started chasing us east, and
soon enough it started drizzling. Just before we got to Owensboro, it
started raining heavily so by the time we got to the motel, we were
fully drenched. Quite a welcome refreshment! We're now into the last
1,000 miles, and we only have one more state left after Kentucky-
Virginia.
