Splashing in Water

 Hudson called Wednesday night at 8:30, as his new usual has been.  We talked about the Nashville temple and the Logan temple opening for proxy ordinances within the next two months.  He is hoping to take a 16 year old girl, the sisters have on date, and Connie to do baptisms for the dead next month.

He was excited that they went back to the winding stairs National Park and this time completed the loop.  He had a bit of fun splashing around in the water.  Maybe a bit too much fun when he tried to waterboard one of the other elders.  

He said Ryan has found a girlfriend!  I asked if she was Mormon and Hudson gave me the eyeroll and said "mom, you can't say that, it's LDS".  He then told me no she was not a member of the church, but she was coming to church with him.  She is a 25 year old chef.  She has several vegetable tattoos on her body, so her and Ryan have some things in common.  If you remember, he is an ex-tattoo artist.

Hudson said while driving from Lafayette, TN to the stake center in Paduka, KY there is a road that is covered with graffiti for miles.  He didn't get any pictures as he was driving.  But, it made him wonder who did it and how do they keep the paint on the road with traffic and rain?

Drive Along Spray Paint Road, A Work Of Art In The Middle Of A Cornfield In Kentucky

Every small town in Kentucky has something like this. Perhaps it’s an abandoned building or an old school diner where everyone just hangs out, but there is always a spot that any local could share a story or two about the memories made there. In the lovely little town of Franklin, Kentucky, that place is Spray Paint Road. Call it a work of art, graffiti, or a combination of both, but this colorful road in the middle of a cornfield is definitely unexpected. Drive along Spray Paint Road and experience one of the most unusual places in Kentucky.  Franklin, Kentucky is a charming small town located near the Tennessee border, south of Bowling Green. 

Spray Paint Road is located, quite literally, in the middle of nowhere, between cornfields and other farmland.  While you won't find "Spray Paint Road" on the map on your phone, you will find Kummer Road, which is its official name. A large portion of this rather unremarkable stretch of road has been made remarkable over the years with layers and layers of tagging and graffiti.  Spray Paint Road is legendary in this area of Kentucky and is known well by locals. As one of the many unusual places in Kentucky, it also makes for a great roadside (or really just road) attraction in the Bluegrass State.
