Went down to the Breaks Interstate Park today. There were a few people there but not overcrowded, had lunch at their restaurant and they had outdoor seating available with a decent view. I would recommend it if you happened to be in the general area.

I would put up a photo here from the towers overlook but the site won’t allow it.

Hiked Pinch-em-tight to Rough Trail to Hanson's Point last weekend. The nice weather brought everyone out. I have never seen the Gorge that crowded. Tunnel Ridge Road was a madhouse. It didn't bum me out though because that was a great hike with the best views in the Gorge that I have seen yet.

Nice Matt. I'm betting it wasn't too crowded. Winter is my favorite time to go there.

I went to Natural Bridge only, and met a nice couple there. They described how on their last trip 15 years ago their 4 yo son almost fell off of the NB, but he tripped on a root, fell, and then older brother promptly jumped on him to keep him from moving any closer. Also there were two people probably a good 15 minutes behind me.

I had never gone past the sky lift and around the ridge there, so went to "lookout point" and "lover's leap" for the first time. Also took a glance at "Devil's Gulch" and went down the "needle's eye". Last week I was planning on a trip there for about three days to see a few new places and also go back out on Star Gap, but due to the ice storm I decided against it. That was smart as today I nearly fell twice and then slid down the rock at Needle's Eye. The rocks were iced over so I scooted down on my butt, then went down the muddy side of the bank.

Let's just say I can't "run down the bank" as quickly as I used to and I almost tripped, which would have sent me rolling down.

Had quick lunch at Miguel's...by myself. They have remodeled FWIW.

Yep Matt. That place commands so much freaking respect. My favorite place in Kentucky.

Hit the Gorge this morning, it’s probably in prime fall colors right now.
