Lincoln County, KY

That's where I'm going to live.

I visited there in high school a couple times and was taken in by the school -- by the community, by the welcoming people and warm environment.

they play their football games in "death valley"

it was a long, quiet drive from our suburban school to this rural one. but it was well worth it.

at 16, i knew i would teach English and coach a debate team there. Of course, i haven't been back in 16 years ... wait, 17. but they recently hired a new school superintendent... and had i known it was open, it quite possibly would have been me.

i still harbor fond memories of a place i visited twice. Where distractions like a mall and Starbucks are far, far away.

I love places like that.

Who knows, maybe you'll still find yourself there one day.
