As Kentuckians, we often recognize the unusual as just part of home. People who aren’t familiar with our national wonder, Mammoth Cave, or our gorgeous, flaming sunsets might feel they are on another planet when visiting. Realistically, we are all just visitors here for a time, so it is more fun to embrace the beauty, and the weird. Have you been anywhere in Kentucky that made you feel as if you were on another planet or in a different time?
