Choose Your Next Ford SUV
The SUV is the most popular type of vehicle today, and it comes in all shapes and sizes. If you’re looking for a vehicle that’s comfortable and powerful both on the highway and off-road, any of Ford’s SUVs will be a great choice. Here are a few you can choose from. 
Ford Explorer
The current generation of the Ford Explorer was launched in 2011 and received a facelift five years later, but it’s still the standard for three-row SUVs. While even the base trim has many impressive features, such as large, 18-inch wheels, a rearview camera, and Ford’s Sync voice command system, higher trims are packed with even more power, comfort, and tech features. You and your loved ones will be entertained throughout your trips with the help of the Driver Connect package, which includes an 8-inch touch screen and smartphone connectivity through Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and USB.
On the road, the Explorer doesn’t feel like an SUV large enough to fit eight people. The electronically assisted steering and handling enhance its agility and make the car very easy to maneuver. Performance-wise, its 3.5-liter V-6 turbo engine is capable of producing up to 365 horsepower and can reach 60 miles per hour from a standstill in just 6.3 seconds, a time that would even put some much smaller sedans to shame.

Best Places For Hiking Near Morrision
As we all get more and more attached to technology and detached from nature, there’s nothing like a hike to help you get reacquainted with the great outdoors. Luckily for the people living in or around Morrison, Kentucky, you have plenty of amazing trails to choose from. Here are some of the best. 
Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park
Just a quick 20-minute drive southwest of Morrison, Old Stone Fort Archaelogical Park has one of the most fascinating hiking trails in the entire state. The Old Stone Fort was built around 2,000 years ago by ancient Native Americans and used continuously for about 500 years before being abandoned. When it was found by European settlers, they couldn’t quite figure out what it was used for, so they called it a fort. In 1966, the fort was purchased by the state of Tennessee, and the park was born.
Its main hiking trail offers a trip back in time, which helps the hiker get a better understanding of the continent’s long history. It follows the walls of the Old Stone Fort, passing former Native American ceremonial gathering places, including the fort’s original entrance, which was built to face the exact place where the sun rises during the summer solstice. Panels, replicas, and photos that include information about ancient Native Americans are ever-present, giving the hiker a glimpse of how life used to be around in the Morrison area.

6 Tips for a More Comfortable Drive
Road trips are fun and exciting, and can feel like a real adventure. They can also leave you feeling stiff and sore by the end if you haven’t taken essential steps to ensure comfort and relaxation along the way. Check out these six tips from our team for a more comfortable drive. 
- Plan Stops Along the Way
While you are more than likely very excited to reach your final destination, driving too long without stopping is not safe or comfortable for anyone. Whether simply pulling off into a rest stop along the interstate, or finding additional sites to take in along the route, stopping every 2 to 3 hours to walk around, possibly switch drivers, and use the restroom is important.
- Use or Add Lumbar Support
If your vehicle comes with a lumbar support option, take time to adjust it to meet your specific needs. If your car does not include this feature, don’t worry; adding a lumbar support cushion to your seat is an easy fix. Having the correct lumbar support can decrease restlessness during the drive and prevent a sore back afterward. It can also relieve chronic and acute pain from muscle aches, stenosis, backaches, arthritis, and herniated disks. Read the rest of this entry »
