Our Last Day in Ohio

Nowhereville, KY - Where are we?!

Ok, so change of plans…we are trying to find an alternate route to Atlanta because I75 South is shut down! There is an overturned tractor trailer just south of us so we are on the back roads of Kentucky (and by back roads, we mean BACK ROADS) trying to connect with I75 south of [...]
