Day 43- Booneville to Breaks State Park

Mission "get out of Kentucky ASAP" was a success. Although honestly,
Kentucky was much more enjoyable than I had expected after hearing so
many horror stories about dogs and people living in trailers. It's a
pretty state, and while it may have many dogs, none of them were
anywhere near as scary as the ones that chased me in Missouri! It
seems people are quite responsible when it comes to keeping aggressive
dogs on a leash/locked up. I slept really well last night, and after a
filling breakfast, felt ready for this long day. There was a lot of
fog this morning but it cleared up quickly. Now, after a 138 mile day,
I am spending the night in Breaks Park, Virginia. It looks to have a
massive canyon in the middle, but it's all overgrown so I couldn't see
too much detail when I got here at dusk. I'll have a shorter day
tomorrow, but there's going to be more climbing up steep hills as I am
now right in the middle of the Appalachian mountains.
