Kentucky (by way of Tennessee)

After the VW show we started towards Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky. Our first geocache grab was at the quirky Wigwam Motel in Tennessee. Then we crossed into Kentucky.

This is a busy city when it comes to commerce. Most visitors only see the commercial side of town, so they do it well.
