Fort Knox, Kentucky and surrounding area.

Protected by a 109,000-acre US Army post in Kentucky is one of the Federal Reserve's most secure assets and it's only gold depository.  Fort Knox vault was build 76 years ago in 1937.  Its gold  totaling 147.3 million ounces, the price of gold today is approx $1,350 an ounce, are stacked inside the massive granite walls topped with bombproof roof and are guarded with Apache helicopter gunships  Or are they ?

It's hard to know for sure. Some people say yes and some no. Few people have been inside Fort Knox, a highly classified bunker.

This is the building I stayed in during Basic Training back in May 1974.  It is kind of cool it's still there.  I am getting old remembe!

This little thing was so cute and hungry. Someone must have just dropped her off at the RV FamCamp. Andy went to the store and got her some food and fed her for a few days.  Yep, she wanted to take her with us.  I was mean and said no! Not that I am the boss... I am clearly not!  I just refused to drive the RV with a cat in it...lol

Andy was sad and had tears in her eyes as we pulled away.

While we were in Kentucky we decided to check out President Lincolns birthplace and childhood home.

Almost 100 years after Thomas Lincoln, Abraham father, moved from Sinking Spring Farm, a log cabin originally accepted as the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln a cabin was placed in the Memorial Building.

While the cabin is old and typical to the area it is not the original Lincoln Cabin. The cabin was moved to this site in 1894 and placed on the original spot. In 1911 President Taft dedicated the marble and granite memorial.

At least I am not as old as this house.

 When President Lincoln was little his family moved to this house in Knob Creek.  This is where he first saw the practice of human ownership, slavery!~  He once wrote, "If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I can not remember when I did not so think, and feel."

Hey this looks like Andy's cabin !

See, it even has Andy's loft.  You know it does Tammy !

We also decided to visit yet another cave. This one is called Mammoth Cave located in Mammoth Cave National Park just outside of Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Mammoth Cave, the longest cave system ever discovered on earth, with over 390 miles, charted on 5 levels.

You call it Mammoth...more like Tiny Cave! good for Andy but I barely squeezed thru !
