Why Stamping Ground?

 

Located about 10 miles NE of Georgetown in Scott County, KY, Stamping Ground is a small town of about 802 (2019 census.) It was named for the herds of buffalo that once roamed the area.

This is what brought us to Stamping Ground.

ABN’s nephew and family live on a small farm with 2 horses, 6 chickens and 2 dogs.

So much fun seeing the changes in the children over the past couple of years. Jack is a freshmen in high school and is a percussionist in the high school marching band. Samaya is in 7^th grade and is all about horses. She trains Emmet and Zip for competition.

The annual Horsey Hundred bike ride has been a favorite of ours these past 25 years. We had hoped to ride the familiar roads while we were there. 

(Thanks to Ida, we were not able to ride.)

But we did revisit Georgetown.

Leaving Stamping Ground, we skipped across ABN’s roots in Eastern Kentucky,

into

where we did a Harvest Host stay at Lambert’s Vintage Wines in Weston, WV.

Lambert’s Winery is about 10 miles down twisting roads from I-79. It is a popular wedding venue.

Our hosts, Debbie and Jim welcomed us most graciously by building a fire for us to enjoy as we sipped wine.

Later Becky and Mike from South Carolina, enroute to a family reunion in Pennsylvania, joined us. After dinner, Bonnie and Tom pulled up with their Scamp RV,  returning to their home in Lexington, KY after spending time with friends in Long Island, NY. After the winery closed for the day, Jim and Debbie pulled up chairs and we all had a fun evening exchanging stories. This is the best of adventure traveling, making new friends. Note to our neighbors at home, we anticipate more RVs parked in our drive. Note to fellow Harvest Host RVers, we highly recommend Lambert’s Vintage Wines in Weston, West Virginia.

Texas, we are on our way; but we are so close to Maryland, we should first pop over say hello to our friends in Frederick.
