Rock Creek is a wonderful place, 8 miles or so from my cabin, I cross it every trip. Always enjoy your videos !!

[@papawinthewoods]

@@JimJayroe Thanks Jim! Rock Creek is my favorite place in the world! I’m going to be on the lower end, downstream from Bell Farm on Monday. Probably go all the way to Yamacraw and back up. There’s a lot to see down that way too. I appreciate it brother.

[@kimwhalen9171]

Never been there. Really enjoyed following along. Will check this place out for sure. Thanks a bunch!!

[@papawinthewoods]

@@kimwhalen9171 You really should go to Rock Creek sometime soon. It’s really beautiful in the spring. Wildflowers along the Sheltowee Trace are out of this world, especially the rare, yellow Kentucky Lady Slipper! You’ll love it there for sure. Thanks a million. Take care and stay safe and healthy.

So much wonderful nature you have here. Such a great place to hike 😊😊😊

[@papawinthewoods]

@@EventyrsorenDenmark Rock Creek has been a part of my life from childhood to adulthood. It’s a special place for me. Thank you my friend.

[@Courage-de3np]

Rock Creek area is certainly a wonder to behold. Thanks for posting this great video!

[@papawinthewoods]

@@Courage-de3np You’re absolutely right about that. It’s been such an important part of my life. I’m probably going to spend a night or two there this spring when wildflowers are in bloom. Thank you for watching and the great compliment. Please take care, stay safe and healthy.

Thats a nice trip, thanks for taking us along

[@papawinthewoods]

@@tonypike5785 Thanks Tony, I now have to shoot a video, maybe two, from Bell Farm to Yamacraw. Not sure how to approach that one yet but it’s definitely going to happen. I appreciate you watching and commenting. Take care!

Real nice video Randy. Rock Creek or going up the creek as we call it has always been one of my favorite places too. Gotta lot of good memories as a kid going up there trout fishing. My brother and i were up there a few days after you made this video. Hope you get to feeling better. Stay safe.

[@papawinthewoods]

@@michaelross4041 You’re right Mike, all a person had to say was “I’m going up the creek” and anyone knew knew exactly what that meant. The “creek” was an important part of our generation. We still have to go back from time to time. I have to try to make a video from Bell Farm to Yamacraw soon. Thanks Mike, maybe we’ll run into each other “up the creek” sometime. Take care and stay safe.

Very cool to re-live those early memories. See so many beaver signs but I have never seen one. BSF beavers must be nocturnal. That was a great day.

[@papawinthewoods]

@@kerrywoolbright5716 Going to Rock Creek is always a great day Kerry. On a hike last spring we came down from Parker’s Mountain Trail there at the state line, crossed Rock Creek to take the Sheltowee Trace all the way to Pickett State Park. Part of Rock Creek Loop in BSF was part of that hike as well as the tunnel in Pickett. That’s one great hike! Appreciate it my friend. We need to take the drive to Rock Creek soon! Take care!

[@TheChildressAdventures]

Beautiful picnic area!!❤ very nice filming and the serene setting is so peaceful 😊

[@papawinthewoods]

@@TheChildressAdventures Thanks ChildressAdventures. Of course there are a lot more people there other times of the year but even then you can easily find peace and quiet on Rock Creek. It’s a very special place. Take care!

[@scottangel6462]

Hey Papaw, that's a really beautiful area there, thx for showing it to us.

[@papawinthewoods]

@@scottangel6462 Thanks for coming along Scott. I really appreciate it! Take care!

[@angieallendorf8441]

This brings back so many memories for me, Randy. It's my favorite place on Earth. I can't wait to get back down to see it in person again, it's been way too long since I've been to Rock Creek! Thanks as always for sharing. And congratulations on 1k subscribers!!

[@papawinthewoods]

@@angieallendorf8441 I’m thankful to live where I can still get to Rock Creek a couple times per year. It’s like a homecoming every time I return. Now I’m trying to figure out how to make a video from Bell Farm to Yamacraw soon. That’ll be a tricky one I believe. Yeah! I now have more than 1,000 subscribers! Thanks for bringing it up Angie. I appreciate it. 😀 You take care, stay healthy and safe… and come back to Rock Creek soon!

[@kentwilliams13]

I enjoy your videos! Question, is there a trail running along the East side of the river from Station Camp all the way to Angels Landing?

[@papawinthewoods]

@@kentwilliams13 Thank you Kent. Yes, there’s a trail that runs all along the River on the east side from Big Island all the way to O&W Bridge. It’s a great wildflower hike in the spring.
