    Scenic Adair Co., KY: Cane Valley without new KY 55



    2008-04-21 - Northside Cane Valley, Adair County District 6 - Photo By Pen.

    Pen took this photo before the leaves were fully out. There are several noteworthy features. First, the perspective from Cane Valley Road leaves little hint of new KY 55, which traverses the scene and which dominates the town today. Secondly, there is a dramatic road scene leading out of the top of the frame. It's the Steve Breeding Road, and it isn't a new straight shoot to Greensburg. It's an Adair County Road, but it dead ends just over the hill. There are other landmarks which should be identified. Any help,corrections, or comment which may come to mind would be appreciated.

And a note about the great sign: It's another classic creation from Don Bennett.

    Beautiful Tulips at Margaret & Sammy Taylor place



    2008-04-21 - Wilson Road, Adair County, KY - Photo By Margaret Taylor.
    MARGARET TAYLOR captured this stunningly beautiful display of Adair County tulips at her home and shares them, along with this note: "This is a picture of my tulips taken in my front yard on Wilson Road on April 11 of this year." And a ColumbiaMagazine.com comment: Wilson Road is one of Adair County's great secret places, though probably not for long. Chris Wilson has opened Hill & Valley Bed & Breakfast there. And the views, looping down Wilson Road, through the LBN Tunnel, and back to Road Eighty on Keen Wilson Road to Ozark, are gorgeous, almost as pretty as the reverse trip.Clicking Read More accesses the "Today, Mon., April 21, 2008" feature," the First Stop for most folks to find our what's happening in Adair County.
