Published reports

Les — via the launch thread, Sept 2026: "For your Moonbow trip, add dinner at The Wrigley Taproom & Eatery in downtown Corbin — a farm-sourced gastropub you'd expect somewhere else. Famous for its Brussels sprouts. We plan day trips around getting to eat there." Ruling: adopted. The Wrigley now rides on Trip 10 and holds a directory seat.

Hannah Beth — Sept 2026: "A second vote for The Wrigley." Ruling: motion carries, 2–0.

Megan — Sept 2026: "Bear Wallow Farm in the Somerset/Nancy area has a gunpowder-fueled pumpkin cannon that shoots a pumpkin so far the owner had to buy the two neighboring farms — plus a corn maze, animals, and ducks that go down a slide. And Haney's Appledale: we do not make a trip to Nancy without some of their hand pies." Ruling: both seated in the directory, and a Nancy fall itinerary is under construction.

Crafton — Sept 2026: "I haven't seen your full list yet (I skimmed and saved cause I'm about to watch a horse race) but Dixie Cafe in Keene is an interesting place. Fun little short drive too." Ruling: seated. Keene's finest now holds an Eats chair, and reviewing the atlas between horse races is recognized as proper Kentucky procedure.

Want on this board? The atlas just rolled off the driveway and the first reports are already reshaping it.

To file one: run a trip, then email brad@clarkharris.com with the trip name, what you found, and what changed. First names and hometowns only get published; kids stay anonymous or nicknamed ("the Navigator, age 9" is house style). The best reports earn a spot here and our eternal, valueless gratitude.

The bounty board: standing rewards (of pure glory) for — a photo of the Valley View Ferry with a rainbow · confirmation of any dairy bar not yet in the directory · a woolly worm race podium finish · a moonbow photo that doesn't look like a smudge.
