Kentucky.

For about the last fifteen years I know of NO working moonshine stills in the Jackson Purchase area.

The last shiner I know of died about that time.

Everybody these days are either starting a winery, craft beer or bourbon distillery. Nobody wants to fool with shine.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. For several years now our camping group from several states meet out in SD every Fall. And a couple born and raised in Kentucky never fail to bring along a supply of authentic moonshine. Not of their brewing, but of other locals.

That's why I joked about it with my comment #59.

They had a legal distillery in Aurora Kentucky but it blew up a year or so ago. Burned the owners pretty bad but I think they are going to rebuild.

I spent years traveling to KY for business and spent 3 to 4 months at a time in one place. I like Maysville a lot, I think that would be my first choice but I won’t leave Maine. Kentucky is a nice state, great people.

What I've seen of Kentucky via pictures is sure pretty. Or you could do as I've done. Move out on 80 acres with you closest neighbor four and a half miles away. Big city - Spokane - is a mere 28 miles away.

Only disadvantage - cell phone service is pretty skimpy. If you worry about things like that.

The old saying - "If I can see ya, you're trespassing. So watch it"

Ha... come to SW Virginia, shine is still big business here.

I'm glad this thread popped up. We are flying out tomorrow, heading for the national farm show in Louisville. We have at least 3 days just to site see. I would love to hear about cool things to see. Most likely we'd like to head east and explore E. Kentucky and maybe drop into WV. Ideas??

I drove through Louisville Kentucky many hears ago, and I thought it was one of the most beautiful and picturesque places I had ever been.

Don't know about the rest of KY but I am seriously considering starting on an ARK here in the west. Even the ducks and geese are trying to get in out of the rain.

Yes, and the mud is not much fun either!

 

[Gunny]

They've already got an Ark in northern KY, but I doubt if it will really float.
