hmm... instead of a "Silk Road", maybe it's a "Coffee Road"?
Long distance trade between Texas and KFS is likely to be based on luxury items. Texas could sell imported coffee (from the Caribbean) and perhaps other vices like cocaine. It would receive Kentucky bourbon in return. There may also be a market for various exotic furs
Other luxuries? Well, at the risk of descending to stereotype, let's not forget entertainment. Country & Western music artists and NASCAR drivers could be making trips to perform for fans in both states. And - if not appearing in person - their recordings could be physically transported.
