KENTUCKY 2011

We know that this is NOT Kentucky, but we had to visit

Kentucky's high point (our 45th).

 The high point is nearly in Virginia!

Black Mountain summit.

The summit.  Obviously, the "hike" was long and streneous.

Notice the flip flops.

Here is Kentucky's route and stops.

Hiking to Natural Bridge near the Red River Gorge.

The rhododendrons were in bloom and the hike was

 a pleasant couple of hours on our last run to Indiana.

Judy and the bridge.

The viewing area for the bridge--the bridge is behind us.

From the viewing point.

To save time, we rode the ski lift down.  

Nice views here, too.

Brother Eric, me, and brother Stephen.

We are in Eric and Martha's "cabin" on Rough River reservoir.

He is expanding and remodeling in preparation for

retirement and full-time living at the lake.

OF COURSE! there were card games!

Stephen, Martha (Eric's wife), Dennis, Eric, and the champ (Judy).

We are in Stephen and Brenda's "cabin".

They built it a year or so ago--also in preparation for retirement

and permanent lake living.

Brenda had to leave for a family reunion, so she was

automatically designated as the loser!
