  • It's some of the best of Appalachian Kentucky -- Jenny Wiley State Resort Park. I was invited up to spend the weekend with Big Joe and Meleah's World and Kentucky Coal Miner (Otis and Melissa). The two-hour drive through the mountains was beautiful, as was the park as spring begins to show its colors around Dewey Lake.

    What a peaceful place. Thanks for checking out the rock with the hole in it. I would have had to go check that thing out too 😉

      I'm too curious for my own good sometimes. LOL I'm glad I'm not the only one. It really was a peaceful park, and everybody was so nice! A "neighbor" even came to the door Saturday night and invited us up for some pickin' and grinnin'. I can't wait to vlog some more of our state parks. We have some good ones!

    First one here and watching as I type this.👋Reason McDonald's is having so many problems is that they let go the Hamburglar, Mayor McCheese and Grimace. What ever happened to the fry guys is a mystery. I think they became BTS. Can you give us a run down on the ardvarks conception to birth...lol. Cabin and area did look nice. Whose Jenny Wiley?

      Would you believe I did a big story when I was a reporter about what happened to Mayor McCheese and all those guys? I got to wondering about it and had to find out. (Turns out it was all over a lawsuit!) Ya know, I couldn't tell ya much about an aardvark's face, but I feel I'm an expert on the other end now. LOL Jenny Wiley... here's a short version because it's quite a story... she was a settler in the area back in the day. One night while her husband was gone to sell ginseng, Indians attacked her cabin. They killed her brother and all her children except the youngest, and she was pregnant at the time. They were taken captive, and later her youngest child was killed, followed by her baby when she gave birth to it. She wound up escaping month later and walked all the way home through the mountains. There's more to it, but she was a tough lady!

      @@TalesoftheTeknohillbilly So three times the aardvark gives an O face; during conception, while eating a Big Mac and being hit by a semi 😁 There is definitely a lot of stories that surround the beloved McD's characters. Since your into history have you ever heard of Benge. No not the dog, that's Benji. Have a good day!

      Our McDonald's here in town used to be on point, but over the past couple of years they've gotten awful. Thank God Burger King opened!
