Day Trip: visits to Metcalfe, Barren, Hart & Green Counties, KY

Things had really changed in the few days, to months since we had seen all the area, most for the better, some greatly changed and neither an improvement nor a set back, some dramatically better as in Edmonton, and, along the way, a couple of old scenes were changed forever.

Starting after the Farmers Market closed in Columbia, we headed west for a half-day exploration, or you can give this route a whole day and do even more touring than we did - maybe even make it to Mammoth Cave. It's a bonus if this tour is taken on a cloudy afternoon as it was, Saturday, August 18, 2018, so you don't have to battle sun grins on the western route.

Horse Cave, KY offers an App-guided walking tour of downtown - HART COUNTY



2018-08-18 - Downtown Horse Cave, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com.
A discovery in Horse Cave - they've developed cell phone guided walking tours of their town which will definitely require a trip back when there's more time. We paused in front of The Bookstore and found it was closed for the day, but we learned from the sign in front of the store that read: "Horse Cave Stories Cellphone Walking Tour. The Bookstore, Stop #2. What makes this bookstore so unique is Tom Chaney, the owner. Call cell phone audio 270-854-3054 to learn about Horse Cave's resident storyteller." It also gave a QR code option to hear, in his voice, about his being a self-proclaimed historian and fabricator of tall tales. It advised that a QR Reader App may be required and gave the website horsecavestories.com. - LW

Some days are meant to be memorable. The others shouldn't count against our lifetime. I don't remember who expressed that idea first, but I have made it my own.


One of my most memorable days was in May, 1947.

My whole life seemed a preliminary to discovering Columbia, each segment of it leading me to Adair County.I discovered Columbia that bright day, and began a lifetime love affair with the best place on earth.
