Bill Thayer's diary • Summary of June 2006

[image ALT: Much of my site will be useless to you if you've got the images turned off!]

In June 2006, I spent just under three weeks in Jenkins, Kentucky and walked a bit of the area; bracketed by short visits to northern Kentucky and Nashville, Tennessee.


The more interesting entries are on darker backgrounds.

June 1‑2	— Diary not kept —
June 3	Greyhound bus ride from Chicago to Cincinnati, Ohio.
June 4	Cincinnati, Ohio and Covington, Kentucky.
June 5	The horse country of northern Kentucky: Versailles, the Jack Jouett House, Frankfort, and a bit of Lexington; a ride across Kentucky with stops in Boonesborough State Park, Winchester, and Cannel City/Caney.
June 6	First day in Jenkins; nothing much.
June 7	Walk from Jenkins to Dorton.
June 10	Walk from Whitesburg to Jenkins, including Mayking, Thornton, Millstone, Kona, and Seco.
