Beautiful Kentucky - Eddie - 01-09-2012 LLResearch is based in Kentucky and I live here too. I found a photo gallery on the web that has a lot of photos from near where I live; most of these places are within an hour of me. I hike frequently at Indian Fort Mountain and occasionally at the Red River Gorge. Those of you who haven't visited here are invited to take a look. It's a beautiful place. These photos apparently were taken by visitors from Germany. http://www.pbase.com/uloo/oh_kentucky_ RE: Beautiful Kentucky - Listener - 01-10-2012 (01-09-2012, 12:59 PM)Eddie Wrote: LLResearch is based in Kentucky and I live here too.

I live in ky too and have been to most of the places in the pictures so i definately appreciate ky's beauty. Have you ever been to Swift Camp Creek in the gorge? A great place for primitive camping. much love to you RE: Beautiful Kentucky - Eddie - 01-10-2012 (01-10-2012, 03:25 PM)Listener Wrote: Eddie My father used to take me fishing on Swift Camp Creek back in the 1960s before that area became well-known and popular. I haven't been to the creek in a long time. The last time I was there, sometime in the mid 1980s, there were many people on the trails, and no where to park. The place doesn't have the solitude it had earlier, and I found that off-putting.

Reminded me more of a tropical setting. Perhaps you could revisit sometime and take a trip down memory lane. RE: Beautiful Kentucky - Eddie - 07-09-2012 (Double Arch is in the Red River Gorge Recreation Area. It can be accessed by a trail at the end of Tunnel Ridge Road, a round trip hike of about 5 miles since the road was shortened. The span of the lower, larger opening is 30 feet.

RE: Beautiful Kentucky - Eddie - 07-09-2012 I'm taking some relatives hiking out to Double Arch tomorrow, and also to Haystack Rock: and Courthouse Rock Here's a view along Auxier Ridge, looking out toward Courthouse Rock: If you are reasonably spry (and thin), you can wedge-climb through a crack all the way to the top of Courthouse Rock. I climbed it several times in my younger years....don't know if I could do it now... Then maybe we'll finish up at Princess Arch: |
