(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>If\/when this article runs it will signal my return to BS after some months of quiet while I dealt with a recurrence of my cancer.\u00a0 I do have some backlog to catch up on, but I\u2019ll get this most-recent stuff done first while it\u2019s still fairly fresh in my mind.<\/p>\n

My dedication to local events and venues continues as I dragged my tired body over to Cynthiana, KY for another rendition of their once-a-year Rod Run which takes over the whole of downtown.\u00a0 This is a historic city with ties to the Walking Dead, Post-it notes, and lots of other nifty things.\u00a0 The Rod Run here has grown every year and many events leading up to and following have enhanced its exposure.\u00a0 This year we had to deal with a couple brief, light showers, but the temperatures were pretty mild for late August in Central Kentucky.\u00a0 Some photos from each gallery will be from a cruise-in at the local Dairy Queen where we stopped to rest and get a little grub.<\/p>\n

This gallery has a showcase of classics we found along the streets and parking lots.\u00a0 I did not make it to every area, but it wasn\u2019t for a lack of trying.\u00a0 Understandably this collection is Tri-5 heavy because that\u2019s what most folks build and bring out.<\/p>\n

Likely my favorite piece in this group is the \u201955 Nomad with matching Shasta trailer.\u00a0 This thing was period inside and out.\u00a0 They had the camper open and we checked it out.\u00a0 It even had the right smell.\u00a0 That stuff brought back some childhood memories from the 70s.\u00a0 All goodness.<\/p>\n

Come back and see more of what we witnessed at the Rod Run and as always\u2026..enjoy.<\/p>\n
