This is the river where grain alcohol turned into bourbon. Along this river distillers would load barges of alcohol destined for Memphis and New Orleans. To cheapen the transport, they used cask oak barrels. During the long trip down to New Orleans the alcohol would mix in with the wooden barrels and be transformed. New Orleans didn't know what to call this sweet new liquor. The casks were stamped with the county of origin, Bourbon County. This resulted in a new nickname being formed, Bourbon Whiskey, and the name stuck. The river isn't used for transport much anymore, but the history remains.

"The house had three guest bedrooms, but only one bathroom for all the guests to share. As we were in the upstairs bedroom, I spent about 15 minutes sitting on the stairs waiting to use the bathroom before I went to bed, and another 15 minutes in the morning. There was no other way to know when the bathroom was available. When I did finally get into the bathroom, I did not feel comfortable taking a shower, because I was afraid that it would inconvenience other guests who needed to use the...
