Interstate 65 was started in the late 50’s and was completed
sometime in the middle 60’s. It runs 880 miles from Gary Indiana to
Mobile Alabama. It has become one of the most important North-South
routes in the Eastern United States. This major artery through
rural states of the south has opened up what used to be the Midwest
frontier and turned them into what they are today.
The interstates route in Kentucky is flanked by Highway 31w and
what used to be the (L & N RR) Louisville and Nashville
Railroad. The area just to the North of this cache is the longest
section of the highway in Kentucky without a curve (14 miles from
just South of Sonora to Elizabethtown). This straight of a highway
may not seam that strange to someone from say Kansas, but in these
parts where most roads were built by following behind a donkey with
a rock cart, it is unusual to find a road that straight.
