. for those that wanna look at them, i've uploaded all the pics to Betty's album.not too far from where i leave there's an awesome place. i use to hike there quite a bit. there are some magnificent sights to see. unfortunately i couldn't make it back to the 40ft sandstone arch mentioned on the sign. people really need to keep up the maintenance on things like this
. we did see an awesome creek though 
, or "the falls" as they're referred to around here.so, in the area behind my old high school there is what used to be a Civil War Fort. we started an archeology class just for the purpose of digging there, and that's one of my favorite things i've ever done. like ever. needless to say what i saw there today greatly disappointed me
. it's grown up so bad that it's hard to tell what's what. you can barely tell where we dug 
. if i didn't find the bricks from the fireplace i would have been walkin in circles for a while. anyway, if you don't know what you're looking at it'll just look like Betty in the woods lol, but oh well, she actually visited the site of a fort that General Ulysses S. Grant occupied in 1861.know the movie How The West Was Won? some scenes in that movie were shot here. in the movie they were "in" Albany, NY but they really were in KY
. we have a family friend that was about 10 at the time and never shuts up about being there when they were filming lol. it's difficult to see the resemblance of the town these days though, not all of the buildings that were standing back then are still around.The Gower House. this sign is pretty self explanatory lol.
it's rumored to have also been part of the underground railroad. the house that use to sit down the road from it WAS part of that. some asshat saw fit to burn it down though
