The 127

The 127 Yard Sale is reported to be the longest yard sale in the world, extending from Michigan through Alabama. My wife and I spent our 8th anniversary traveling a large portion of the Kentucky side. We love yard sales. I particularly love finding bargains on items thought to be junk but could be painted, cleaned, refurbished, or used as decorative or functional items. This was my first time on the 127, and I must say this yard sale does not disappoint. So much history is found in items for sale along the corridor. Some people were executors of recently passed loved ones selling a house that was once filled with life. Other sellers simply had too much stuff in their home and wanted to get rid of some of it for space. Many sellers were vendors, of which I did not enjoy. All in all, a wonderful day. We plan on attending once again next year, perhaps travel through other charming small towns and meet good folks along the way. Maybe, we'll bring the truck.
