Strainer against bridge on Melson Ridge Road 2018-04-24 - Bridge over Crocus Creek, Melson Ridge Road, Inroad, Adair County, KY - Photo by Wendy Burt. "I agree with Mitzi Bault about the danger of bridge 'strainers' on Adair County waterways. Another case in point is the pileup of entire trees, limbs, and branches where Melson Ridge Road crosses Crocus Creek in southern Adair County. The pileup is so huge that branches are visible above the bridge deck." - Wendy Burt who adds, in the accompanying letter, that the strainers put significant risk on the structural integrity of the highway. - Paired Photo, after strainer removed - Where the strainer on Melson Ridge Road Bridge isn't, anymore Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

There must have been giants in Putman Co., Adair Co., KY 2018-04-24 - Putman County section of Adair County, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. One who studied at the feet of the original Varmintologist, Dr. Billy Neat, can only attempt to channel his explanation found in Putman County. He was the first to teach others as to when one would know they had entered the mystical kingdom. "You don't need boundaries," he would say. "You know you are there. It just suddenly greens out." And so, channeling the great man, who was also Adair County PVA for many years, what his reaction would have been to this scene. "Giants must live here. One's obviously dropped his gumbo." That's what I thought. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Scenic Adair Co., KY - Fabulous color on a gray day 2018-04-24 - Along & Across Sulphur Creek, NE Adair County, KY - Photo by Ed & Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. For some of us, who loathe sunglasses, love daylight, for whom bright sunlight hurts the eyes, there is nothing like a grey day in spring. This scene was captured Tuesday morning, April 24, 2018, in the northeast part of Adair County, where thankfully, some farmer(s), who must have been looking out for the needs of photographers, placed a red barn under a protective branch over our roadway, trained his cattle to pose, fed the green green grass, and complemented it all with the good sense to strategically leave Eastern Red Cedar to create a magical place like this. Made our day. That plume on the right? Never figured out what that was, but it was an appreciated effect. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
