Running from Astoria, Oregon to Yorktown, Virginia, this historic route was developed in 1976 for the U.S. bicentennial and still enjoys a mythic status thirty years later.  Covering 4,217 miles from coast to coast, it passes through some of America's most iconic landscapes and cultures, from the wilds of the West to the great plains of Kansas and the rolling hills of Kentucky.  A rite of passage for American cyclists and increasingly popular with foreign visitors.  Late spring to early fall.

Where were the bike routes in the Kentucky portion of the trip?

Curious to know what towns the bicyclists went through on their l976 trip. Please help.
