Red River Gorge

Two weeks ago a few friends and I spent the weekend in a cabin in the Red River Gorge. Kentucky is a very diverse state in terms of its terrain, from the Appalachian Mountains to the plains of the Mississippi Valley, making it fun to explore the vast differences. The cabin was perfect, set down in a hollow (or holler) at the end of a gravel road.

This weekend was a change of pace to the fast travel I usually partake in. We cooked every meal in the house which included barbecue pork, roasted potatoes, homemade fried chicken, mac-n-cheese, and so much more. Cooking with friends is always a blast and this was no different; it even included a mouse crawling out of the kitchen!  In addition to eating way too much, we spent a lot of time in the hot tub just talking, telling stories, and laughing.

We hiked a little too, but spent most of the weekend in the cabin. I have been through a lot with these friends and a lot is in store with a wedding and possibly buying a house. It was nice to pause a little, out of our Lexington home, and reconnect as close friends.
