Jim and I really appreciate the many photos published in CM. As we've spent the past year exploring the roads of Adair County we often slow down to observe an old house or barn lurking tipsily behind a screen of overgrown vines and shrubs. I wish I knew the names and family stories linked to each place - as I would have done in my old home town.

One of the nice features of Kentucky is the signs posted for roads and even dead-end lanes, presumably named for the remembered families who first settled in each section. - Sharon Whitehurst
