Beautiful arches and natural bridge. I enjoyed your walk through the woods to find these sights. Wonderful share 😊

[@papawinthewoods]

There’s nothing like locating the off trail stuff. They’re rarely seen but they are frequently incredible sights to behold! That’s what Winter is for! If you ever come to Big South Fork give me a shout. I’ll be happy to show you some of these things. Take care, stay safe and healthy.

Perfect weather for getting out and finding stuff. Awesome arches! Another great BSF video!

[@papawinthewoods]

I’m looking forward to cooler weather and the “off trail season” as we call it. There’s still a lot of stuff to locate. BSF never ends. You may have to work for some of the sights but that just makes it more worthwhile. Thanks Jim. Take care.

Great video Randy, I like New Salem Arch! Can’t wait to find it next time I go up!

[@papawinthewoods]

This is my first time seeing it. It’s massive! You need to see it. Take care and be safe my friend.

[@papawinthewoods]

Thank you Robin. I’ll be as safe as possible. Take care.

[@JimJayroe]

You're in my neighborhood, and passed right by my cabin, when you stop by sometime I'll tell you what the D W stands for on the first arch

[@papawinthewoods]

There aren’t too many cabins along that road. If I knew exactly which one is yours I might stop by the next time I’m over that way. Thanks Jim, I’ll see you someday.

You know how if you have been gone from up there awhile and you need a mess of BSF? That was what I needed. What a good day. New Salem was great.

[@papawinthewoods]

I needed a dose of good old BSF too. It was a great day but it made me want more. Thanks Kerry. See you soon my friend.

[@JamesRobertSmith]

An excellent video. I wonder just how many arches are in Big South Fork.

[@papawinthewoods]

That’s a good question… I know it’s in the hundreds. There are more to be found too. Thanks JamesRobertSmith. I appreciate it. Take care and stay safe.

Just past claw arch left side of road, looks like a turn off, the cliff row is absolutely massive, even has a small water cave. Very beautiful area, next time your in that area you might want to stop and check it out.

[@papawinthewoods]

Thank you Jeremy. I try to make a loop through there in the fall when the leaves are turning. I’ll try to give it a look. Take care and be safe.

Beautiful ❤ Hope you're doing good! 😊

[@papawinthewoods]

@@goldiethompson6569 Thank you Goldie. I’m doing good, hope you’re well too. I appreciate it. Take care and stay safe.

Hi Papaw, I love to follow you on KZbin. I also love to look up the places on the map in Gaia and in Avenza by TNlandforms GPS coordinates and these three I can’t see them in TNlandforms, GPS coordinates would be wonderful to have your up to Sharing

[@papawinthewoods]

Thank you so much Rebecca! That’s what I like to hear… lol .. These arches are in the Kentucky section of Big South Fork. I normally Google “BSF Landforms.” I don’t think DW Arch or New Salem Natural Bridge are on it. I’ll check on my gps app and get the coordinates for you. Give me a day or two and I’ll put them on here for you. I appreciate it! Take care and stay safe.
