Kentuckians often describe the length and diversity of their state with the phrase, “From Pikeville to Paducah.” But there’s still a lot of Kentucky west past Paducah. I spent Thursday evening driving past rich fields of corn and pretty little communities along Highway 80 between Mayfield and the Mississippi River. What a sweet summer evening. Once the sun set, the bugs were so thick they sounded like sleet on my windshield.
