Erik, If you can get a bigger truck, I'll help you load & drive for half the stash…

head south a little ways go to fort knox check out the patton museum near the base. Make the trip to makers mark dip your own bottle. Makers mark is the best burbon distillery to go to, Jim Beam is a waste of time. The burbon heritage center at the heaven hills distillery is neat and worth a stop on the way back from makers mark. Historic bardstown is also neat if you are into that kind of stuff. Did I mention Makers Mark is awesome. Neither are really that far of a drive fort knox is only a half hour from louisville airport. Makers Mark will take you an hour and twenty minutes or so but it is worth it, be prepared to drive slow some curvy roads in them their hills.

Makers Mark is one of the prettiest places I have ever been - but it's a LOOOONG drive on slow roads. Lincoln's birthplace is around there somewhere and Mammoth Caves. I lived in Lexington which is a bit of a drive but there is a lot to do there including the previously mentioned Horse Park - if you do make it to Lex, the woodworker in you will appreciate the Shaker Village and the craft college in Berea, each about an hour away as I recall (it's been 13 years)
