 Fort Knox by deecat
In the Bluegrass Region south of Louisville, the United States Gold Depository holds most of the nation's gold. This gold is held in underground vaults where the door to the main vault is made of concrete and steel and weighs more than 20 tons!
It was in 1936 that the United States started storing its gold at Fort Knox, and many Kentuckians got jobs at the fort.
Note: this photo is not mine; I knew I could not visit. I took this picture from an old book that I had.

 Memorial to Victims Killed on
Kentucky Highways by Stephen-KarenConn
This monument, at the Kentucky Welcome Center on I-75, just north of the Tennessee border, shows that an average of between two and three people are killed every single day on Kentucky highways. And that number is increasing almost every year.
If the same amount of people were killed - nationwide - in airplane crashes, the media would have a frenzy. When that number are killed - nationwide - defending our liberty, people protest in the streets.
When 50 times as many people who die in Kentucky accidents are killed on United States highways every day, few people seem to notice.
Buckle up!
Don't drive like an idiot!

If driving in remote areas of the country at night beware of deer running out in front of your vehicle. They could total your car out if they are big enough. I've lived here my whole life and I have never hit one yet but I have missed hitting them several times. It seems like they are seen more on the roads when the weather starts getting cooler....maybe it has something to do with deer hunting season! Anyway...BE ON ALERT WHEN DRIVING! Leave a Comment

I would avoid hiking in remote parts of the Daniel Boone National Forrest or on private lands in Eastern Kentucky. Marijuana growers have been known to grow their crop on public lands and booby trap their fields. Leave a Comment

In all US states, dogs have to be on a leash. When I was told, I was also told that Kentucky is the exception to the rule.
This turnt out to be true. When riding our bikes through the KY hills, we were often chased by big, ugly dogs with a big sets of teeth. Sometimes, they came too close to us for our own well-being. This is when the $10-pepperspray turnt out to be a usefull investment.
So be warned... Leave a Comment

Beware of undercover cops all over Kentucky Highways! As some other VT members have pointed out KY highways are quite dangerous, so understandablly the cops are quite tough and sneaky! Leave a Comment

Don't bother bringing your kids on a trip to Kentucky. The rolling hills and dense forests may be fun to drive through, but your kids will make you pay for it.
