Travel: Red Cliffs National Conservation Area (2 of 3) 2026-05-29 - St. George, UT - Photo by Robert Ellis, robertelliswoodworking.com. Robert writes, "This is the end of the Red Reef Trail for the Kentuckians. In our younger days we would have navigated those 'Moki' steps like this group of young hikers did. Previous videos I have watched all showed a rope hanging down to aid hikers in getting past this point. Now, in my Golden Years, my fear of heights has been elevated, and simultaneously my balance has worsened...oh well, we hike what we can. I wound up talking to the guy in the hat that was closest to me, and found out they were all from Utah. He seemed interested in the hillbillies from Kentucky as much as I was wanting to know what life was like growing up in Utah. On a side note, the night we checked into our hotel in nearby St George, the clerk told Tammy we were the third couple from Kentucky checking in that night."

The little garden in back of the Trabue Russell House 2026-05-29 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. The Eubank Spring House Garden, on the back side of the historic Trabue Russell House property, was created by the Adair County Garden Club in 2007. The stones used to form the borders, paths, and benches once formed the foundation and walls of the Eubank Spring at the foot of Jamestown Hill. That cool water refreshed the early settlers.
