Scenic Adair Co., KY: Russell Creek Hills, KY 80 at Conover Road



2013-04-19 - KY 80, East of Columbia, West of Russell Springs, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. The Russell Springs Highway at the KY 80 Bridge over Upper Russell Creek is as scenic as it still is busy. Redbud, above, is at its peak at this point, and for those who have time and are careful to watch the traffic, there is a treasure trove of trillium on either side of the Columbia/WAVE 92.7 FM hillside - in big patches. The road off the far side of the bridge, to the left in the photo, is Conover Road. For those who might not already know, the Russell Creek is flowing South at this bridge - to the right in the photo as one heads toward The County, where might Russell Creek originates. Travelling East from Columbia, the Creek is flowing North, to one's left, at the Columbia Bridge. According to local legend, which may or may not be fact, the Creek is 99 miles long as it flows from Russell to Adair, the Green County, where it meets Green River just north of US 68/KY 70 West of Greensburg. They used to tell us that "rivers" have to be 100 miles long, and that's why the broad, deep Russell Creek is a creek and not a river. - EW

Jackson Brower wishes he'd had Barnetts Creek Style bridge

Former resident of Barnett's Creek Road is intrigued by the Barnett's Creek Bridges; wishes he'd had one in the olden days of the 1970s - he wouldn't have drowned out his old VW bus so many times had he had one. There were times when he just had to get out, when he lived at Pellyton, when everybody depended for the news on one of the 16 papers he worked at from time to time at Waggener-Walker Newspapers, Inc, 108 N. Reed Street, Columbia, KY and he was a key journalists editing and writing for so many of them. He still has "ink in his blood" and is grateful for the lessons he learned from one of the all time great South Central Kentucky newspaper men, Gordon Crump. He's going to be watching the Discovery Channel's Backyard Oil series, too. Keeping in touch with some great friends and mentors he me while in Adair County

By Jackson BrowerFormer editor for Waggener-Walker Newspapers, Inc., Columbia, KY

Remember me? I'm havin' a deja vu all over again.

I've been checking out your cool website on a regular basis for a couple months now.

I love this bridge (Bridges of Adair Co., KY: Barnett's Creek Style) and wish I had had one like it when we lived there in the log cabin. I drowned out my old VW bus so many times in that creek it's not even funny.
