I expected the Fall colors to be peaking by now, but it looks like the next 2 weeks will see the best of the colors in the Kentuckiana area.
On Saturday, I hiked 2 trails in Bernheim Forest (Cull Hollow and Guerilla Hollow) and the colors were definitely coming on, but as of now, the deep [...]

My Yearling Encounter

The Siltstone Trail in Jefferson Memorial Forest has a small section near the Scott’s Gap Rd. trailhead that is only twenty paces wide. What makes this section unusual is that this short width extends for many miles in length. It is what I like to call a power line cut; an area kept clear of [...]

Home computer blowup

Looks like I’ll be tinkering with my home computer for a few days trying to get my boot drive back up and running.

Trail Shorts: August 2009

Short stories from trails around Kentuckiana
Do You Smell Cucumbers?
On a recent hike, I joined the Louisville Hiking and Backpacking Meetup Group in Jefferson Memorial Forest. (A great group if you’re looking to get into the local outdoors!) During the hike, I heard an interesting rumor about smells on the trail. That’s right, smells.
Apparently, it is [...]

Hike Bike Pike, Bernheim Forest’s multi-use trail

While doing a little research online for an upcoming blog, I was looking at the map of Bernheim Forest and came upon a surprise. Having been a visitor to Bernheim since I was 3 years old, I thought I knew the name and location of every trail in the park.
