KY-Cumberland Falls

a quick wrap up of the past couple days my sis and I went our separate ways she is home fine and the dogs and Mom are happy to have her back...I snapped these shots at Fall Creek Falls during my last bit of time there...

Welcome to KY. 

Then it was time to head north and for me it was Kentucky.  KY is a beautiful state of rolling farm land and green pastures and more rugged areas in the Cumberland Mountain areas...the likes of Daniel Boone and other frontiersmen helped to settle this region.  

Funny how much of our waterways the Dupont family has owned and then donated to the state I know there is still chemical clean up they have to do in the Dupont Forest in NC..

Gatliff Bridge

this is located in the Daniel Boone NF Here is a  Google Map Screen shot from the air, You can see the trail and the horseshoe shaped falls 

Visitors Center

I stayed in the CG its small but Okay has laundry, showers, electric and water at the sites...it was hot so I used both my fans!  We didn't visit this lodge or restaurant  we were here to see the falls!  It looks like I didn't take a photo there was like 10 sites, just on a gravel pad with only 4 x 4 on the ground separating the sites, and basically its for tent camping.  

Once we got our site we went exploring...

and other life happening by this river...

and the beautiful landscape it has created...

Lead the way my little explorer..

Along the Eagle Falls Trail 

the falls is a horseshoe falls 68 ft high and has a spry that gives it the nick name the Niagara of the South!

There is also a moonbeam on the full moon and the area is open till midnight I would enjoy seeing that but no full moon the night I was there...

When the wind catches this spray you think its raining!! 

and not just moonbeams look at this awesome rainbow!!

Casey and I went exploring in the morning after we left our site I wanted to get some photos in the sunlight and it was perfect.

My little buddy needed a drink 

I spent 2 days in KY more on that in my next post.
I had full bars of service in the campground yahoo..

PEACE
