Bob and I had a wonderful backpack in Red River Gorge which is about 2 hours southeast of his home in Louisville. The Gorge is a magnificent dense forest replete with geological features galore, the primary ones being natural arches eroded from the sandstone. This area abuts Kentucky's Natural Bridge State Resort Park and shares many of its features. The Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail passes through the Gorge as it traverses the length of the Daniel Boone National Forest and parallels the Red River seen in this photo where Bob and I were perched on a high rock overlooking the river. Young people were jumping from this rock to the river 20 feet below and also swinging on a long rope and falling from it into the river. More photos and info are on my webpage,
