I was totally disgusted that Natural Bridge State Park didn’t allow dogs on their trails — until it led me to discover the Red River Gorge Geologic Area. I might never have gone otherwise, and this place isn’t to be missed. It stated with the Nada Tunnel on 77 and then miles of road under […]
I was pleasantly surprised by the part of rural Kentucky I drove from London to Slade. Homes are kept up, lawns are mowed, flowers are planted, and yards are not full of trash. It’s clear these people take pride in their homes and it makes touring the area pleasant and the scenery picturesque. When I […]
Lucked out while loading the camper and only had misting rain. Not so lucky when leaving. It started raining in earnest and poured for the first hour and a half. I tucked in behind semi’s that were taking it easy and let all the traffic fly by. The rain had pretty much stopped when I […]
While coming back from my first trip with my new camper I stopped for gas before I was to get on I-75 in Kentucky, as always worried about mileage and the cost of traveling. I was pumping gas when two young women approached me asking me to give them gas in the container they were […]
Cumberland Falls are called the “Niagra Falls of the South” and are known for having a moonbow on clear, full moon nights. I would love to go back to see that. This was just a quick side trip to see the falls. It was a beautiful 75 degree day and as we walked along the […]
There was finally a couple day break in the weather so I loaded up the dogs for the trip up to Toledo to pick up the camper. Well, almost a break in the weather. I got up Monday morning to let the dogs out and was greeted by hard rain. By the time we pulled […]

Temps finally in the 70’s so I decided it was a good day to take off for Cumberland Gap National Park. It’s only a 50 minute drive from the house and it was too nice to not take advantage of a gorgeous day. Who am I kidding? I’ve been beating the whole kitchen cabinet update […]
March 14th. My favorite day of the year. The day Joshua Elton Bettinger entered my life. Although his presence was clear for many months before his actual arrival It’s funny I view this as the best day in my life since it was fraught with as much pain as it was joy. I was so […]
I ran up to Pikeville, KY today to check out a Rockwood A Frame camper in person. I had already researched the living daylights out of it online but wanted to sit in one for real. On the way there I headed up through Cumberland Gap National Park and went through Virginia for a good […]
