They have made the trip from Colorado in ten days, sleeping out of doors at night. They say the roads were splendid until they got about to Danville, Ky., and that they were rougher from there. The Coopers were enthusiastic about this section of the country and Mrs. Cooper said she considered the mountain scenery around Williamsburg more beautiful, abstractly speaking, than that of the Rockies. She thinks the drive from Frankfort to Williamsburg is every bit as impressive as the famed drive into Estes Park in Colorado. They suggested that a tourist camp here would be a great help in bringing travelers this way, and told of many of the splendid camping grounds further north, mentioning the one at Galesburg, Ill., as the finest. Mr. Cooper took a parting shot at our East End street as he was leaving, but in general, they had nothing but praise for Middlesboro. _____________________________X-Message: #10 ------------------------------------------------------------ Submitted by E-mail Registry submittor Sandi Gorin Date: 8 Sep 2003 Subject: [KYF] OBIT: Nancy Graham, Warren Co. ------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE: I have no connection, no further information and am not seeking additional information.
