    Watching this in 2023. I'm so glad that I grew up in a Boone Co, KY forest catching crawdads in the analog times. The older gen is passing and families have lots of acreage for sale signs up all over my county. I'd love it if that land became a nature preserve.

    I'm from right up at the top of that bluegrass section at the very tip top of the map of ky. Cincinnati. I have an uncle that owns a bunch of land & cabin in that Red River gorge. He's really well-known they have a bunch of those arches. I bet he could tell you where alot are that aren't known about yet!🤠

    Thank you. I’d spend hours watching content from there… I do spend entire days there, just walking, mushroom hunting, lots botanizing, and more than anything, spend The whole day smiling! I’m quite fond of going down the cliff rather than walking the switchbacks all the way down…but uh… I’m also quite fond of going home at the end of the day so I try to stay on trail. It’s such a conundrum, the trails are fast, easy and direct. They’re also trampled, boring and you see other people. Yet if I go off trail then I’m trampling things, and potentially attracting others that are far less conscious of the damage we do with our big old feet. 🥷
