Today was my second day in Kentucky.
We drove from Lexington to Lee County to visit Amy's brother John Paul at a camp where he is working for the summer.
He took us through a cave that must have been half a mile long. It was open on both ends. In the last room, a group of bats huddled together on the ceiling. We turned off all of the lights but one and never shined a light on the bats themselves.
In the cave, it was 58 degrees. Outside, it was in the high eighties and about 98 percent humid. I wanted to stay in the cave.
Kentucky is everything I thought it would be and nothing I expected. There are nothing of the pine forests of Oregon. But there are lightning bugs. And beautiful rivers. And old railroad bridges.
