Nice picks! Natural Bridge and Mammoth cave are two of my favorite childhood camping memories. When to both on the same camping trip when I was around 9 years old. I'm 62 now.

My retirement dream job would be to be a tour guide at Mammoth cave State Park. I would get lots of exercise and be cool and comfortable while doing it.

John Houchin is my 7th great grandfather. There is a terrific book by Norman Warnell titled: Mammoth Cave: Forgotten Stories of it's people. I actually purchased it in the gift shop at the cave. I am also related to William Hopkins Woolsey (6th great grandfather). This book was terrific for finding the sources I needed for the DAR. Thank you for the quick overview. I thought it was very interesting how the national park was created. I had no idea.

Sad to report mining of Little Black Mountain at Eola, KY. Hauling gravel from Woodway, Virginia to mine site. They already are tearing down the mountain. Soon it will look like the moonscape that is the abandoned Scotia mine where all those miners were killed in gas explosion.

It is sad. My husband lived in Eolia on Black Mountain. He has a beautiful tree farm. It's all gone now. His family leased the land from Blue Diamond. Blue Diamond didn't renew the lease, and now the land is destroyed. Very sad!!!

Natural Bridge? Did you know the largest natural arch East of the Mississippi is in Creelsboro, Ky? Called the Rock House, it is located on the Cumberland River.
@richardandrobertrobinsonth47638 ай бұрын
Based on span, the largest natural rock span east of the Mississippi is called Mantle Rock with a 154 foot span, and it's in Kentucky near the Ohio River across from Illinois. Rock House, aka Creelsboro Natural Bridge, is certainly a massive natural bridge, but based on its 104 foot span, it ranks as 7th largest of the Eastern natural rock spans.
