Written Directions

Pretty simple, take Tates Creek Road from Lexington KY and follow it the whole way. It runs over a river where you take a free ferry across and keep following the road until you reach Richmond KY

Scenery

Good scenery. A lot of farm land and open areas to see quite a good distance and also parts of the stretch that go through dense woods and you're riding through the forest. You also take a ferry across a river at one point which is pretty cool.

Drive Enjoyment

The road is great in most parts but there are places where it gets a little bumpy and there's patches of blacktop from repairs. There's a lot of nicely untouched paved road but just a small about of bumpy annoying road to deal with in a few turns, nothing major.

Tourism Opportunities

Not much really, your just driving from one main city to another and there'e not much inbetween really other than the ferry I mentoined where you can park and relax or just ride across.

Not really much to it other than the ferry ride across the river and it doesn't last long at all.
