Kentucky Derby 2024

The Southern Loop

My Goal was to get to the 2024 Kentucky Derby at My Buddies House in Louisville Kentucky. Turn this into an 8 day road trip.

This guy is a legitimate Kentucky Colonel who (along with his buddies) has been hosting a Derby party for over 50 years.

This will be my third time going. I attended once in 1986, then in 2003, and now in 2024.

I went there the long way around taking the familiar southern route to pass through and visit other folks in South Caroloina, Atlanta, Chattanooga and a few other places. And on the way back following the Ohio River through Portsmouth and then into Pennsylvania town of Ohiopyle.
