I thought this would be a lot easier than it was. From here I can be in Kentucky in no time. Surely there must be a KFC right across the border. Well, there isn't. I pretty much have to go to Nashville or Knoxville and then on to Kentucky to find the closest KFC.
I liked Leah's suggestion of going to the first KFC. I did some research and found out that Colonel Sanders originally started selling his famous chicken at his cafe in Corbin, Kentucky. The Sanders' Cafe has since been demolished and replaced with a restaurant/museum. The first Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise was actually opened in Salt Lake City, Utah.
I couldn't justify making the trip just to eat some chicken. I did really need some computer stuff though. So I hit the CompUSA in Knoxville this morning, then headed up to Corbin, and made a quick pit stop at Indian Mountain State Park on the way back. That makes 17/54 state parks.
Legend has it that the Colonel's ghost haunts the cafe, trying to protect his secret 11 herbs and spices. Okay, I made that up. But while I was eating my popcorn chicken I think I figured out what those spices are. Salt, pepper, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, earth, fire, wind, water, and heart.
