Kentucky Afield Outdoors: Blue Water Trails – Buck Creek This article is the twenty-ninth in the periodic Blue Water Trails series highlighting the floating, fishing and tourism opportunities on Kentucky's streams and rivers. By: Lee McClellan FRANKFORT, Ky. - No other stream in Kentucky has caves that flow cold air and fog over the water, springs that gurgle fresh water along the bank and rugged beauty that rivals the Red River Gorge. Nothing else resembles Buck Creek in Pulaski County; it even has a tributary that appears from one cave, flows aquamarine for less than a football field before disappearing into another cave. A series of floats on this remarkable resource immerses the paddler into the power of water in a karst environment and its ability to carve a steep gorge into the Cumberland Plateau through the millennia. The Buck Creek drainage has over 90 documented caves. The cleansing effect of water moving through rock contributes to the creek's exceptional water quality.

Everything back to normal at the Adair County School Campus Rumor of gun on campus. It was just a rumor. Call from Alan W. Reed Superintendent, Adair County, KY schools The Adair County School District Campus went on a temporary "soft" lockdown earlier today, but it was only a precautionary measure. There was a person on campus who was not supposed to be here, and a soft lockdown was ordered.

Again, it was just a precautionary measure. Parents should know that their children are safe. - ALAN W.
