This page hadn't been touched in 5 or 6 months and was very empty, so I drafted a little something from the KY end. I couldn't seem to avoid it sounding like a tourism plug no matter how hard I tried so I dropped an "authors note" into the body. As stated in the history comments: if that note needs to be moved to the discussion page I'm ok with that; it was more to add additional credability when sources were not available online.

Moved the note described above to here. While I don't disagree with it, it would seem that SOMETHING else could be mentioned in Kentucky. For example, the battle of Perryville probably ranks right up there with the battle of Tebbs Bend. Robomanx (talk) 21:47, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Campbellsville, Kentucky was chosen to showcase Hwy 68 due to 1. size and population features as compared to other cities along the route, 2. geographic location relative to the route (US 68 is the main road through the center of Campbellsville which is "the geographic center of KY" per Chamber of Commerce), and 3. previous Wiki work regarding Tebbs Bend and Cecropia Moth that may be linked herein (author has personally witnessed and photographed a mature Cecropia within the city limits of Campbellsville).
