Slade, KY....Daniel Boone Forest

When the sun got low in the sky we headed south toward’s Beattyville, KY. Just for a road trip.

Discovered this man made spillway. This was a big kid/youth person place to swim. These guys are having a blast. They waved and hollowed while we took pictures. See the guy on the right he will jump off that rock and do a canyon ball. Oh, I remember the days!!

This rock climbing adventure is amazing but looks closed. Wonder what happen to close this place? Seems like the summer would be the busy time.

By the time we returned to the condo, it was raining. It was obvious that the wind had be strong because limbs where all over the road. We missed it. Didn’t have the awning out so that was great. No worries there. Think we can do without the awning this whole trip.

Later that evening the storms returned. Looked like trouble. I heard a ding dong, oh that’s my doorbell. Ranger Brook informed us that a dangerous thunder storm is expected. He suggested that if we needed, we should go to the bath house. I asked if we should move the camper and he said that would be our choice.

We stayed put and the line of thunder storms evaporated. But two of our neighbors pulled out. Call me silly but, where would a person go??? You don’t know the area and you are in the foothills, nothing but gulles and hollows.

Just three days ago, the rains caused flooding, less than 50 miles away, in Pike County. People lost there lives and many lost homes.

Note: We got to know Ranger Brook very well.
