The Colonel abides...

One last pic from our trip...



Also, in honor of the Colonel, I'm going to rate the DVD's we've watched recently on the KFC scale.

-She's the One - three piece tenders UP - solid, fairly funny, quasi-chick flick. The smoking, drinking, and swearing really redeemed.
-The Good Shepherd - one drumstrick DOWN - so much potential but it really didn't go anywhere. Ultimately it was 2 hrs, 47 minutes of Matt Damon making 'that face'.
-Firewall - family bucket with all the sides DOWN - a comedy of cliches that wasn't funny at all.
-Charlie Wilson's War - eight piece bucket with coleslaw UP - very funny, with Hanks, Roberts and Seymour-Hoffman all in great performances. Highly recommended.
-Mad Men, Season One - four drumsticks UP - I went back to S1 after watching S2 last year out of order. Stuff White People Like is right.
-Date Movie - 1 spork - just like a spork, somewhat entertaining but ultimately useless.
-Entourage, Season Five - extra mashed potatoes and biscuits without having to pay UP - can't wait for Halloween and Flem's Turtle costume.

Happy Holiday

The 4th of July is here and before we start the fireworks I wanted to give a little recap of our wonderful trip.

Here's the view of Indian Creek from the cabin where we stayed.



Here's Cumberland Falls, the second largest waterfall east of the Mississippi River.



Further down this hiking trail we hit Eagle Falls. Later in the week we returned to swim in the pool formed below the falls.



Here are the other two waterfalls we hiked - Dog Slaughter Falls and Yahoo Falls. Yahoo Falls is the highest waterfall in Kentucky, and Dog Slaughter was the most secluded hike we went on. Most people were probably discouraged by the bridge being washed out at the beginning of the trail. The lack of signage probably didn't help either...





We also took a trip to Cumberland Gap, where Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee all meet. We hiked the Tri-State Trail and got a beautiful view from Pinnacle Outlook.





On the way home, we took a little detour and hit the Bourbon Trail. We did a full tour of the Woodford Reserve distillery, which was a lot of fun. The scenery was gorgeous as well, as the distillery is situated in the middle of horse ranch country.
