The photos are just great. Do you have any additional photos that I can purchase. I realize they are probably digital and not printed as hard copies if not used, but thought I would take a change and ask.

Traffic and parking. There are new traffic patterns, since Thursday evening, on KY 61 and KY 80 today, around the new LBN/KY 61 interchange. Caution is advisable there while motorists adjust to changed driving conditions. : The junction of KY 80 & KY 61 at the last time we check was not clearly marked. At night and on dark rainy days, it is difficult to find the road to Gradyville, when on KY 61. Also, from Highway 80 onto KY 61, take extreme care. There is still construction traffic on the old KY 61 roadway. Big stuff that would roll over a passenger vehicle like George Foreman's thumb squashing a Japanese Beetle.
