July 19, 11:09 am, ??, KY, part 2

So much of the road here appears to have been hewn through the underlying rock. The exposed rock faces are pretty neat to drive past. Miles and miles of striated strara, blowing past me at 35 mph.

It's wonderful to imagine 200 million years ago, when all of this state was at the bottom of an ocean. (And not wonderful = great. I'm not trying to insult the good people of Kentucky here. Wonderful = 'I am full of wonder' (although being at the bottom of an ocean would be "wonderful" wonderful in that it would give Kentucky a good non-inbreeding excuse for having blue folk.)).
