Scenic Kentucky: Chained Rock


2024-05-20 - Bell Co., KY - Photo by Graham Waggener.
Overlooking the Kentucky Ridge State Forest, Pine Mountain State Resort Park was Kentucky's 'first' state park, established in 1924. Among the hiking trails in the park is the Chained Rock Trail, which leads to a large rock outcropping that looms over the small town of Pineville, KY. Local legend has it that parents used to reassure the children of Pineville that the rocks couldn't fall "because they were chained to the mountain."

According to a post at appalachianhistory.net, "the story of the chained rock spread to neighboring communities, and people started showing up in town inquiring about the whereabouts of the chained rock," which in 1933 inspired the locals to turn the folklore into reality by purchasing and installing a 3,000-pound chain that had previously been used with a steam shovel in a Pennsylvania quarry.

Not a drop of Bourbon was served


2024-05-19 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com.
Not a drop of alcohol was served, nor enjoyed, at the Trabue Russell House luncheon last week - it just looked that way because the bottles contained sweet tea. They were great conversation pieces, as evidenced by the smiles on Bridget Compton and Vicky Pike in this picture. The Bourbon bottles on the tables were part of the service designed by hostess Mary Anne Loy who said, "come to the Trabue Russell House now, the roses are blooming!"

Travel: Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park


2024-05-19 - Utah-Arizona State Line - Photo by Robert Ellis, Robert Ellis Woodworking.
Robert writes, "This Park has a nominal entrance fee, with a 17 mile loop road you can either drive, or pay for a guided tour. We decided on driving ourselves since we had an AWD vehicle. The road is mostly dirt with sparse gravel at times...and it is rough! However, the scenery and views are epic, and worth enduring the 'not so pleasant' roads."

From the website:
Welcome to the Navajo Nation's Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. You are experiencing one of the most majestic - and most photographed - points on earth. This great valley boasts sandstone masterpieces that tower at heights of 400 to 1,000 feet, framed by scenic clouds casting shadows that graciously roam the desert floor. The angle of the sun accents these graceful formations, providing scenery that is simply spellbinding.
