Bill-Haycock > Hazard, Kentucky. Known as the "Queen City of the Mountains," Hazard is located in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains in Perry County and was founded in 1790 by Elijah Combs and his seven brothers. The county and county seat were later named for American naval hero Commodore Oliver-Hazard Perry, who was victorious over the British in the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812. Rich in natural resources, Hazard and Perry County's history is tied to the coal and lumber industries. Both industries, along with other significant historical events are highlighted in the town's own museum.

Bill-Haycock > Ron and Joe point out the fact that we are in Kentucky. This was the original spelling for the State's name. Photo taken at Cumberland Gap State Park - Cumberland Gap was the route Daniel Boone discovered to open up the land west of the Appalachian Mountains

Bill-Haycock > This group of riders believed in dinning only at the Best places! Hazard, KY - The Only place to eat breakfast!

Bill-Haycock > One of many stops along miles of deserted roads in rural Kentucky

Bill-Haycock > Ron is ready to ride - "Hey, where are we going?"

Bill-Haycock > Dooley's Diner in Booneville, KY was the most recommended place to eat lunch! If the "locals" eat there it must be good!

Bill-Haycock > We stopped in Corbin, KY to visit Col. Sander's first KFC - still an active KFC restaurant and museum.
