Don't Miss an Exit

One last thing from Thursday night. On the way back up I saw a car carrier (parking lot) , with a lot of strange shapes on it. As I got closer I realized it was loaded with new model cars that were being concealed with the bulky wraps to change their shape. They were all from Volkswagen, and the wrap was white with the VW symbol all over it. It is very rare to see these cars on the road during the day, to prevent people from getting good pictures of them. It being night I didn't even try for a shot with my camera, I knew it was to dark to get a clear one.

The next day went well until I unthinkingly moved over to avoid catching up to a school bus. As I passed the bus, I realized I had just missed my exit, I-265 N to I-71 N. Unfortunately I also did not realize that that was a part of a cloverleaf. So I could have taken the second exit, exit again, and then exit a third time to get the direction I wanted. So I blithely crossed my fingers and hoped for a place to turn around further up. There was nothing until I got to US-42. Not wanting to go backwards, I took that East, and still found no where to turn around. At a stop light I saw a Kentucky state route that would take me back to the highway. I knew I was likely making a mistake the second I decided to make the turn, since it led almost straight up a hill. That was what I dealt with for about half an hour, a road that made 31W look big. This road swooped and swerved with the reckless abandon of a drunken sailor. At one point there was a sign that said end 35 mph zone, as if I wanted to go faster on this roller coaster ride. I could hardly wait until I reached the end, it would be nice to visit again in a car, beautiful countryside, but never again in a truck. The pictures above are from that road most of the road was like the first picture, but I didn't dare try for a shot during the worst of it.

The last picture is from when I reached I-71, the difference in road size is obvious, though still beautiful. The smudges are from the many bugs that suicide on the truck each day.
