Country Drive - US Route 52

Good morning,

Here we go again for a country drive.  We're on our way East of Cincinnati on US Route 52.  We crossed the "Big Mac" bridge at Cincinnati and headed into Kentucky...

...then after a few miles going around a "loop" in Northern Kentucky crossed the Ohio River once again...

...near Riverbend, the summer home of the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, where the Interstate crosses US Route 52, and Ohio Scenic Highway along the river.

It wasn't long before we were on the country road with plenty of sights to see.  That's a tobacco barn with the tobacco all hung to dry.  Sadly, I had some reflections because of the position of the sun.

Notice how the power line poles are leaning.  The hill is obviously shifting to the right, toward the river.

 We remember seeing this old place along the river a long time ago.  It appears the roof has been replaced, but most the vines on the walls are untouched.

 There are more and more quilt barns in Ohio now, too.  We first noticed them in Kentucky quite a few years ago.

 We drove through numerous small towns.

 Many of them were once quite active little towns.  Now many buildings are boarded up. 

 So, on we went into the countryside along the river. 

We are on our way to have a lovely lunch at a vineyard restaurant.  More images to come.  I hope you'll join us.

All the best,
Lois
