Now that I am home, and it’s all said and done, Kentucky was by far my favorite state to pick for antiques and junk this past leg of the OUP Photography Tour. Here is a shot I took at a rest stop, which was a really nice rest stop by the way, compared to most. Hopefully I can get back down to pick Kentucky before years end, or early next year.
Thank you Kentucky and people of Kentucky for the memories!
Here I am, sitting in my room at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino in Dover, Delaware. Thinking about the past 10 days that have been. We’ve been all over. Chicago, Illinois, St. Louis, Missouri, Cincinnati, Ohio, Nashville, Tennessee, through Kentucky, ALL over the place. We’ve seen many sights, met tons of people, had ups and downs, and above all else, had fun. We have so many memories that will stick with us forever.
Yesterday, July 29th, may have ended up being one of the best days of our journey. We were originally supposed to be spending it, which was also my girlfriend’s 23rd Birthday, in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. One thing about the road is this… plans change. Rehoboth was packed this weekend, and we had a problem finding a hotel last minute. We ended up finding one in Ocean City, which isn’t too far away. It’s funny, sometimes last minute changes end up becoming an experience which seems like it was meant to happen all along. We hit a few places for Happy Hour, the second being a place called the Bad Ass Cafe, which is right on the Boardwalk. Me and my girlfriend each had 4 or 5 drinks there, and a HUGE plate of nachos, and it only came to around $18. GREAT SERVICE, GREAT food, AMAZING place!
I have tons of stories and photographs which I took on this trip, so you can expect a lot of blogs well after we get back home late tomorrow night. I am a bit tired from the road, but already looking forward to the next leg of the OUP Photography Tour. For a while I’ll just enjoy the memories of this journey, but you can expect more travels for sure… THANK YOU SO MUCH for checking out this Blog, I appreciate it! I’ll leave you guys with some of my favorite photographs of the past day in Maryland & Delaware. I’ll be checking back with more content later in the week and beyond!
I had a blast picking St. Louis, Missouri, as I told you guys all about in a previous blog, but without a shadow of a doubt, my best pick so far came out of nowhere in Cave City, Kentucky. We saw a sign on the side of the road advertising “large dinosaurs,” which we then exited for and went to checkout. This place is called Dinosaur City. Seems like an awesome place, but right across from it is the REAL awesome place. It’s a little spot called “The Olde Generl Store,” and yes, I know that it is spelled wrong.
This place is LOADED with advertising. TONS of it! We’re talking signs, bottles, coolers, a little bit of EVERYTHING you can imagine! I’ll be making another trip down to Kentucky for sure. Easily my best state to pick so far…. Check out some photographs of this KILLER place!!!
Right now I’m just sitting in my hotel room in Winchester, Virginia. Tomorrow afternoon it’s off through Maryland, and then down to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware tomorrow evening where I’ll be staying until Monday, followed by staying at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino in Dover, Delaware on Monday night. After that, it’s back home and back to the hustle. I’m excited to get some of the killer stuff I’ve picked into the shops. STAY TUNED this weekend as I’ll have a few more blogs posted, and I’ll have even more once I get back home.
Been a very fun week so far. Hope you have enjoyed the blog posts, LIVE STREAMS on OUnitProductions.com, and other randomness… THANKS to you all!
