Scenic Adair Co. KY: Land of Laurel & scenic lake scenes 2015-05-12 - Jericho Bluffs, Corbins Bend Road, Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, CM photo. It's a duty imposed by marriage. My father-in-law E.P. Waggener, whom I never got to meet, made it a family tradition to do a Mountain Laurel Watch on Jericho Bluffs annually. The trek results in payoff usually between May 5 and May 20 of each year, or so it seems in my 46-year-+ Mountain Laurel Watch career. This may not be 'counters' for a day or two; didn't spot any fully open, but hope to make the journey soon. In my youth in Sulphur Well, we could always find Mountain Laurel on the bluffs above the South Fork of the Little Barren (think I have the fork right) near Beechville, KY. Billy Joe Fudge, says that he used to be part of Marvin Spickard's Mountain Laurel & Broom Sedge expeditionary detail who were dispatched each year to find the flower and the sedge for the skirt of his group's Parade Vehicle - that was in the 1970s - and they found the flower on the bluffs around Knifley. There's also finds each year on the grounds of Green River Lake Headquarters in Taylor County. - LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
