| Barns are painted black in this neck of the woods! |
Yesterday we drove from the Laurel River Lake Campground northeast to Natural Bridge State Resort Park in Kentucky. We enjoyed some interesting back road sights.
 |
| Picturesque barns dot the countryside, many abandoned to nature |
 |
| This "house" was an interesting amalgam. The side was tin ceiling material..... |
We lucked out and got a fabulous campsite in the Park right next to a small stream that flows to a deep pond that the kids use as an old-fashioned swimming hole. It even has the giant rock that they enjoy jumping from into the water.
 |
| Happy hour by the creek. |
This morning, we drove over to the skylift that took us to the top of the Natural Bridge. It was incredibly quiet and beautiful gliding up the hillside.
We walked across it and could see Lookout Viewpoint in the distance.
I walked down to get some photos of the Bridge from below and then I hiked out to the Lookout Viewpoint to get photos of the Bridge.

| The return trip to the top of the Bridge involved these steps and this narrow walkway |

Glad we got out early as the heat and humidity were increasing rapidly. Back to our creekside campsite for lunch, a nap, enjoying the sound of rain on the roof during a couple of small showers.

| The little girl on the left had just jumped from the highest point on the rock into the water without hesitation! |
We woke to the sound of kids back at the swimming hole having a great time.
