 Derby City Mustang Club Kentucky Trail Front View

Kentucky is a wonderful place. The folks from the Derby City Mustang Club are as down-home and nice as they come. And the countryside is simply beautiful. Though our experience with the great state of Kentucky is only around Louisville (we'll be in the northeast part of the state for this trail), we have always enjoyed the rugged and rolling country that makes up the Bluegrass State.

The September in the Park 2004 Mustang and Ford Weekend Getaway Show looks to be quite an event. This show promises a great deal of fun and frolic, with country-and-western line dancing (yes, we'll have our cowboy boots and Wrangler wear) and the chance to view all the area's best cars. So be sure to bring out your Mustang.

You don't want to miss this trail. We're planning a trip to Kentucky Speedway, ending up at a scenic overlook outside Carrollton for a great view of the Ohio River. Lunch will be available at the overlook.

As we say at the beginning of each Trail, we are going to a specific location. If you choose to follow our route, you do so of your own free will. Should something befall you while on the trail, you are solely responsible for your actions and deeds. Mustang Monthly and Mustang & Fords are not responsible.
