Red River Gorge
Miles: 7.9
Slept nary a wink last night because of cold back, a pad makes heaps of difference, for comfort and ease of rest. A lesson learned, the hard way, as all mine are learned or so it seems. Eager to leap up at 3am, don't recall sleeping from 1:30am to morning, tossing and trying, hoping for warmth and the right ergonomic hole or rill in the ground beneath tent. Off early enough, by firstish light, and honed in on buffet at Natural Bridge Lodge, which was as spectacular as I expected. Gravy, biscuits, sausage (forget my vegetarian ways), french toast sticks, blueberry pancakes, need I say more, forget the natural beauty, here was something spectacular. Missed out on bridge and park was something not so memorable, but met up again with LW, about 4 hours behind was he. Ditched the dinner buffet, I should add that I am at that point in the journey where it's all about the food. Roughly 4.5 days remaining in this Kentucky adventure. |
