Backpacking Cumberland Falls in Kentucky // Searching for a Sacred Campsite at Dog Slaughter Creek

[@leslieteague3423]

Seeing this brought back all the emotions of my connection to DBNF, Cfalls and Dogslaughter when I worked at Cfalls the summer of 1980 🥹❤️.You went to the trailhead of Dogslaughter when you were 4 but stayed behind to play with Roger’s boys. What an epic video to stir up wonderful priceless memories ❤. The bloopers were 👌🏼. So glad you and Nick have that special connection to Dogslaughter 😊Love you ! Proud of you❤❤

Thanks so much, Mom! I didn’t realize that I was around that area at such a young age. Our entire family is connected to that place, and I hope Liora and future kids will be able to see its beauty and value, too! Love you!

That is awesome to actually camp at a spot that family has camped at for years. Especially when you find it on your own like that!! What a fun adventure!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@BluegrassBackcountry]

Hey thanks so much for watching and leaving these kind words! I definitely plan to return to that campsite many times, now that I know where it is.

I love that area and the waterfalls. We live in a beautiful state. We are so blessed. Merry Christmas my friend.

[@BluegrassBackcountry]

Thanks for watching, Jason! Yes we are so blessed to have such a variety of beautiful things to appreciate in this great state. Proud to call myself a Kentuckian, as I’m sure you are, as well. Merry Christmas and Happy start to 2024!

That Shrek conversation 😅 I feel old again! Loved the memories, loved the video! And boy, those bloopers! I would say I was in rare form, but we know better! We just happened to get most of it on camera!

[@leslieteague3423]

Nick I thought y’all’s convo was about Shrek 🤔😂. That’s one of Lydia’s favorite movies😅Samuel’s watched it a few times 😳😁

[@Smokeybeesnatural]

@leslieteague3423 Samuel and his friends were singing it word for word, like a bunch of kids. I was like....dang I'm old 🤣

Thanks brother! I’m glad you were able to go with me to experience The Nest together. It wouldn’t have felt as complete without a Trail Brother to share it with. I’m going to expect that kind of blooper performance on all of my future videos, so you better step it up!😅 Excited to get out again together in a few weeks!

Do you have a map or route of your trip that we can follow

[@BluegrassBackcountry]

You can access Dog Slaughter Falls by either taking the Sheltowee Trace/Moonbow Trail starting at the Cumberland Falls visitor center, or drive Forest Service Road #19 until you reach trailhead #414 (Dog Slaughter Creek). Trail #414 has had some issues with fires recently, so I would check to make sure it's open before attempting to go that way.
