I have been trying to figure out the next destinations on my Virtual Hike.

The most recent recent destination on my virtual hike was Danville, Kentucky.

My plan is to visit a few more destinations in Kentucky and then enter into Indiana.

However, the places to cross the river are limited. There are no places west of Louisville where you can legally walk over a bridge to cross the Ohio River between Kentucky and Indiana.

I want to cross the Ohio River midway along the border, but walking on the bridge I want to cross is not allowed.

I want to cross over the river to Cannelton, Indiana from Hawesville, Kentucky, but would instead need to go all the way back to Louisville.

There is a bridge across the river there at Cannelton. I want to cross here as Cannelton is an important family destination.

You can see that there are shoulders where you could walk, but pedestrians are prohibited. If I choose biking instead of walking on Google Maps, it allows me to cross. I am going to break the rules and pretend that I borrow a bike or hitch a ride to cross the river.

The alternative is to go back to Louisville where there is a bridge that allows pedestrians.

On the way to Hawesville I do plan on passing by Fort Knox, but no plans to break in to Fort Knox.

I have decided to allow crossing non-Interstate bridges, even if pedestrians are prohibited. However, the no Interstate rule will remain on my virtual hike.  With this decision I think I have my route decided for the next few destinations.

Now to go add a little bit to my actual miles before I call it a day.
