Too bad I don’t have an editor. I’m the first and last one to look at my articles and sometimes I go to sleep at the wheel. Like last week.
I said in my article on the Ark Encounter that Williamstown, KY was 665 miles from Charlottesville. It’s not. It’s about 465 miles. But I was correct that it takes about 8 hours to get there. 465 miles is still a ‘fer piece.
I also gave credit to Daniel Boone for fighting Mexicans at the Alamo. I’m sure he would have if he had the chance, but it was Davey Crocket, of course, who hawked coonskin caps, kilt him a ba’ar when he was only 3, and did indeed fight at the Alamo.
As I recall, Fess Parker played both Daniel and Davey in his movies and I lumped all the characters together. But Daniel Boone was from Kentucky, so I got that right.
Despite all my inaccuracies, it is well worth your time to go see the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky, and that’s a fact.
