Road Trip 2016 – Podunk, Kentucky

Wikipedia describes Podunk as –   a term used in the United States to represent an insignificant place.

While Merriam-Webster defined it as – a small, unimportant, and isolated town.

And as I continued to research, I found a comment that said – No, Podunk, KY is not a real place! Podunk means a small isolated town, region, or place that is regarded as unimportant. 

So, does it really exist?!  🙂

You tell me!!! ha ha

The hubby exclaimed “damn, I always thought it’s just a joke! It really does exist!!!”

If you could only see his expression… You would also laugh.  ha ha

At Podunk, that’s what a congested area means. ha ha ha… Gee, congestion is not like that in our city, believe me. ha ha

Podunk , Kentucky is along Highway 381 near the border of Tennessee and Kentucky.

True, it is isolated. But I am sure it is not insignificant.  To the few people that live there, at least. I saw about 10 houses nearby. Seriously. 🙂

There is nothing there, except hay farms. Miles and miles of it. But I found it beautiful, specially with their fall foliage.

The boundary of Tennessee 89 and Kentucky 381.

So now we know, Podunk is real…. 🙂  Just follow that road and you will find it nearby…

Happy traveling everyone. 🙂
