Camping in Red River Gorge

This is Mill Creek, a pretty little creek that cascades down in a stairstep. It was one of the first stops because it was very close to our campground.

The Nada tunnel was one of the things I wanted to see while we were there. We went through it several times during our stay. It was an old railroad tunnel.

The view from the top of the Natural Bridge towards Lookout Point.

One of the swinging bridges in the area. The second one was closed off because a tree fell on it and damaged it.

We also went to this attraction called The Gorge Underground. They also had clear kyacks and guided tours. Those were sold out when we were there, but we did get the boat tour.

There are some tiny bats that hibernate in the underground. The speck just to the right of the picture center is one of them.

This is Princess Arch.

We found a number of these cubby holes around. It looks like a giant ice cream scoop hollowed out some of the rock. I have seen them up on Greyson Lake, also.

The crack at Chimney top overlook.

And the view out from Chimney Top.

This one is called Angel's Window.

It is a double arch with the small one right next to the larger arch.

This one is called Whistling Arch.

 And the last one we saw is the Sky Bridge. There were more, but our legs were giving out.

Camper is ready to go

The outside drain for the water heater is in the bottom of this panel. It's actually the annode rod for the water heater. 

 Since it was fairly corroded and I had to take it out anyway, I got a new one to replace it with when I put it back together. I did all the tires and hub greasings yesterday. We're ready to load for this weekend's trip to Red River Gorge.

Garden and yard work

Yesterday's dirt run to a farm in Salt Lick almost filled the raised bed. I got a couple more buckets of Jim's magic dirt to finish topping it off.

I picked up some onion sets this morning and got them all planted.

All smoothed out and I watered them as well. We're supposed to get some storms tonight, but I always water them as soon as they are planted to be sure. Weather predictions aren't always right.

Heather dumped the last of the rabbit trays on the old water trough site. I took another bucket of gravel off it yesterday.

 With everything smoothed out, some top soil and grass seed added, it should look like yard very soon.

Spring seems to be here

 After snow a couple weeks ago, spring seems to stopped by for a visit. I hope it stays around for a while.

Short lived break

 

Our break didn't last real long, but it is supposed to be back in the 50's in a few days.

A break in the weather

 We finally got a break in the cold we've been having. I took the opportunity to put the parts I got a while back on the camper. I needed warmer temperatures for the caulk to cure when I sealed the hinges in. Anyway, both awning arms have new hinges now.

Minor surgery

I had a spot of melanoma removed from my back last week. I couldn't see it. Natalie saw it and I had it checked out. 

Now I just have to get the stitches removed next week (28 of them).
