October 22-24: Next in our travels we stopped in Louisville, KY for a couple days. We went to Fort Knox but since 9/11 tours are no longer given. We were only allowed to see the outside from the road. There is an exhibit in the Patton Museum showing a replica of the gold bullion. And if you have never visit the Patton Museum, don’t miss it, especially if you were in the service or a history buff. Next we had to visit the Jim Beam Distillery, a family operated business for now seven generations. Unfortunately they no longer offer tours, but the movie was interesting and the samples of bourbon were strong. Then you can’t visit Louisville without going to Churchill Downs. We were told that seats for the Kentucky Derby start at $80.00 and go up to $1,000 for a simple folding chair. Other times you can purchase the same seat for $2.00. Racing starts up again October 29 with the Breeder Cup but it was time for us to move on.
