Tommy writes, "While in Campbellsville on Saturday, Jenny and I decided to take a ride out in the county. We headed out Hwy 68 New Lebanon Road, then turned left on Palestine Road. The farms and homes in that area must have gotten together and decided to make this White Fence Country. It kept going on for a long distance and was worth the drive."
