05/20 Berea to Hazard KY

Got an early start this morning yo ride 90 miles to Hazard KY.  Started out with cloudy skies and a weather report that expected rain.  We road through the back country as much as possible arriving at Boonetown about 3PM and 51 miles and 3,100 feet of elevation.  We stopped at a diner for a milk shake talking to a guy and his son about the new road being constructed in town and about substance abuse in the town.  The father worked in this area.  His 12 year old son was very big for his age.

Also, we met a personality in town named Joan who told us what was good on the menu and claimed that 2 people from San Francisco sat in our exact chairs last Friday.  She exclaimed that that will never happen again in 100 years.

We arrived in Hazard about 8pm making it a long day.
