Ok, this was probably I-65 Nasvhille to Lousiville or I-75 in the East part
of the state. To go from Paducah to Owensboro, you'd take I-24 to the West
Kentucky Parkway, then the Natcher Parkway to Owensboro. Do not not not not
not not not go over 70 on these or you will get pulled over. I drove West
Ky back and forth for four years, and there are typically smokies all over
the place.

Most of the bbq at home seems to be more of the carolina style--smoked in a
pit, but the vingar style sauces. Definitely no sweet sauces.
