We had rain 7 out of 7 days on the road. Typical view, following Jeff & Joan Hasslen's 1929 137 Sport Touring in our 1931 153 Sedan
The top on Jeff & Joan's 1929 tore wide open near Louisville on our 2nd day of travel to the meet. The rain stopped just before the top tore and did not start again until the top was repaired the next day!
Two days of driving through mature corn & soybean fields brought us to our first glimpse of the "Hills & Hollers" (Hollows) of Eastern Kentucky.
Butcher Holler & the childhood home of Loretta Lynn and Crystal Gayle. Loretta's brother Harland Webb lives nearby and gave tours of their home.
Webb's general store in Butcher Holler KY 
The area is known for producing many past & current Country Music stars
Settlement farm visit - Christian Rasmussen & friends
Flat land in Eastern Kentucky! This was created after coal mining leveled a large area - now an Elk Preserve and park/campground area. A very steep climb in poor weather, our
trusty 1931 153 was up to the task - the only Franklin on the tour to make the climb.
Kentucky Hwy 160 - a typical road through the Hollows in the area
Our hosts, Bill & Linda Fields

Our 1931 turned 100,000 original miles on the way home. Note cruising speed.
In Western Wisconsin, just 15 miles from home, after over 2,200 miles of rain, the skies parted...
And we drove into the sunset.
