Tour de Kentucky Norte’

Monday 9/13 and Tuesday 9/14 I shot some footage for a NKY tourism video.

IMG_3068 Day 1 I drove to Augusta and took the ferry across the river. Then Maysville, Flemingsburg, Goddard, Falmouth, and Lake Kincade. Day 2 it was Dry Ridge, Williamstown, Owenton, Perry Park and Carrollton.  Many of these towns brag about their architecture, but most of the building are just old. The script called for video of The Outlets at Dry Ridge. It described it as a ‘shoppers paradise’, but the place is 80% empty with only a few retail stores, a karate school and a church. The highlight of of Williamstown was The Olde Town Mall with live country music. It was and rundown, old Tractor Supply store that was now a church. Thank God for the disenfranchised protestants filling up empty retail space. With so little to shoot in some places I did what I could. When in doubt, shoot the courthouse. The Quilt Box was interesting. located out in the country down a gravel road, it attracted quilters as far away as Dayton Ohio. I did enjoy seeing the Goddard Covered Bridge again. A friend of mine was married there about over 20 years ago and have always thought it was as quaint and beautiful as Kentucky can get. Owen County had the Elk Creek Hunt Club and Winery. What a beautiful restaurant and scenery. Maybe Trimble County’s will be as nice when it opens. I didn’t get lost once (wasn’t paying attention to the GPS) and the GPS took to a dead-end (never trust the GPS), but it was interesting way to get paid to see the back roads of Northern Kentucky. Oh yeah, the title comes from eating Mexican two days while on the road.
