mayfield ky

 

 

the kentucky bend exclave bubble is the least of it here

 

west kentucky has a longstanding habit of falling apart

 

first there are the 2 major rivers that separate it from the eastern part

the cumberland & tennessee

 

then there is that wild jog in the tennessee boundary west of the tennessee river

 

then there are 2 marooned areas west of the mississippi river

  i mean  not counting the exclave as being west of the river

both of which i hope to visit later today if there is still a ferry at columbus

 

& unless there is a ferry

 you cant even drive to missouri from kentucky without passing thru illinois or tennessee

 

yes  amazingly  zero bridges it seems

not only to the exclave but also to the 2 other marooned areas

 

so these areas are looking totally out of it

 

i wonder

could they be even cooler than exclaves

 

we shall see
