Visited Camp Wildcat, Richmond battlefield, Cassius Clays grave, General Whitakers grave and then it started raining hard. We had dinner in the hotel from a good chicken resturant called Rosters I liked there famous dumpster fries and Donkey wing sauce. Tomorrow going to visit Cave Hill Cemetery then maybe another battlefield or two. Bought some new books today from a rare bookstore

I have drove past Camp Wildcat 6 or 7 times and have never stopped. One time I am just going to take the time to stop.

More rain here today unfortunately with some potential for a brief hard rain between 2-3pm. Looks like less rain down near Perryville. Stay safe @gentlemanrob and hope you are able to enjoy the day.

I visited Castleman and Lincoln statues in Louisville

 

[donna]

Did you take picture of Castleman on his horse in the Cherokee Triangle? There been talk tomove the statute but with virus haven't heard any more. It is one of my favorite statues. We lived on Cherokee Rd for 3 years. Always passed that statue. That neighborhood was so nice. I was in High School at the time.

Thank you for the picture, but Wow. I am disappointed to see it's been vandalized.

I really hated to post it honestly because of the people Vandalizing it. It saddens me every time I visit something that has been Vandalized.

Indeed. It's artwork. Whether you like it's subject or not.

I read that Castleman was actually a great man.

 

[donna]

It is so sad. It was a grand statue. I really don't understand why they vandalize it. He rode with John Hunt Morgan. Later he did so much for Louisville and served in Spanish American War. I guess maybe they do need to move him. Cave Hill be nice place for it. Hei s buried there.
