 Auto in Kentucky by deecat
The car in the photo is the car that I frequently drove to Kentucky from Chicago when my parents were still alive and living on Kentucky Lake near Benton.
My Dad was great at fixing cars, and while I was there, he worked on the car, and we always polished it up to look great.
I have it parked up on the hill behind their home. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

When I was a child, we used to play a license plate game, where we tried to be the one to see the license plates of all the states. If I were to play the game now, it would almost be possible to play the game within one state because most states have a regular license tag, and then they have special plates which people can get for an extra fee.
In Kentucky, the standard issue plates have a the word KENTUCKY at the top, with a free form running horse's head, and underneath in very small letters "Unbridled Spirit". The county is at the bottom of the plate.
Kentucky has many many individualized license plates - some of them include
Amateur Radio
Butterfly Nature
Cardinal Nature
Child Victim
Civic Event
Congressional
Disaster / Emergency Services
Ducks Unlimited
Fraternal Order of Police
Historic Motorcycle
Historic Vehicle
Horse Council
Judiciary
Law Enforcement Memorial
Bobcat Nature
Masonic Order
State Representative
State Senator
Street Rod
Volunteer Firefighter
The second license plate that I took a picture of (which also has the county on the bottom, is only currently listed as an RV vehicle plate. It is the old style of plate. Leave a Comment

 "The Cardinal" at the Ashland,
Kentucky Station by Stephen-KarenConn
The Cardinal, which connects Chicago and Washington, DC, follows the Ohio river along the northwestern edge of Kentucky. It enters the state just across the river from Cincinnati, and follows the southern shore of the river through Kentucky until it exits the state at it's northeastern corner, between Ashland, Kentucky and Huntington, West Virginia. Only three stops are made in Kentucky: Maysville, South Shore (across the river from Portsmouth, OH) and Ashland.
Don't let that discourage you from riding the train in Kentucky. On my most recent trip aboard The Cardinal, I sat across from an adventurous couple from New Zealand. They were seeing parts of the United States, and of Kentucky, which the majority of Americans never see. Leave a Comment

For most of KY, I would say flying into Louisville is your best bet. However, if you like, you could fly into Cincinnati (which is actually in KY, not OH) for northern KY attactions or Nashville and drive north for some southern KY stuff. Also, Lexington is an option (albeit a smaller airport) for central and eastern KY. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The three major airports in Kentucky are in Northern Kentucky near Cincinnati, Louisville and Lexington. Visitors to Western Kentucky could also fly into Nashville, Tennessee, just South of Bowling Green, Kentucky.
In most but not all instances, I have found the lowest airfare in and out of Kentucky to be the Louisville airport. Southwest Airlines flies into Louisville and the other airlines tend to match this discount carrier. Sometimes I have found lower fares by bidding on Priceline.com for Cincinnati. Lexington has a convenient smaller airport mainly served by Delta and commuter airlines, but the prices can typically be higher.
As for getting around in Kentucky, I'm afraid we do not have any mass transit systems. The major cities have public buses. Renting or driving a car is still the best way to see most parts of the State. Bicycling would be feasible in central Kentucky, but the lack of leash laws make dogs a problem in some counties particularly Eastern Kentucky. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Travel to and from Kentucky by car. This way you can see everything you want, when you want.

First off to SEE Kentucky stay off the interstate and take the time it take to drive the backroads, you'll not be sorry! Small towns charm and Antique shops line about every Main St in Kentucky. You'll find those home grown eateries and shops that you'll never see or hear about on the interstate. Sure it will take long, but you're in the south now and due to the heat things move a little slower. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home
