Thanks, maybe next year.  I have some friends in Somerset KY that I like to 
visit.  I have to head back to California in a couple of weeks, my grandson 
is going in for a series of tests and I was asked to be there.  As for your 
road, Gene's was a tough one, I could get down but needed a four wheel 
drive to get back up.

Hey, Don, I like that 1860s chicken coop pictured on your travel 
journal! Looks like the roosts were cantilevered and had sloping 
floors beneath the roosts so the poop would slide down. Hm, how would 
one keep straw up there? Maybe they just let the poop dry. Not a bad 
idea, actually. Less likely to burn plants.

Done right, that structure could qualify as a genuine Cluckingham Palace.
