Scenic Russell County, KY - good crop of Daffodils

My favorite early crop! It's great to be driving a usual route - as on Hwy East 80 - and suddenly come upon a whole field full of Daffodils, ground sunshine. Happy Monday! - LW Comments | Permalink

Travel: Spring Mountain Ranch State Park (1 of 2)

Robert writes, "We took note of this park, passing by it on the way to Red Rock Canyon. If there was time, before heading to Vegas for the evening, we planned to check it out, since it was only about 5 miles from Red Rock.
Pulling up at the ticket booth I enquired what was the main attraction at the Ranch since you couldn't see it from that vantage point. The attendant told me that the famous Howard Hughes once owned the Ranch. That was enough of a lure to cause me to pay the entrance fee.
Turns out, after going inside the ranch, and speaking with one of the workers, Hughes never stepped foot on the ranch. That was okay, since the ranch was a beautiful place nestled around the red rock mountains, offering numerous hiking trails. The ranch house itself is now a museum, chock full of history for the history buffs! You can read about it at parks.nv.gov/parks/spring-mountain-ranch.
Above is an image from one of the trails. Honestly I enjoyed this park as much as Red Rock Canyon." Comments | Permalink
