| Just as the two RV Gypsies
parked in the parking lot, it started to rain. So they quickly put on rain
ponchos and continued on their way. |
|
|
| Lee Duquette and his grandson read the posted
trail map and then everyone headed out down the trail. The rain quickly
became only a drizzle. |

|
| The two RV Gypsies and their
grandson continued on the hike. The trail made a loop through the arch and
along the area’s perimeter on a series of paths and forest roads left
over from the days when homesteaders farmed the stream bottoms. Even if
there were no arch, it would be a walk well worth taking, through a lovely
forest and along several attractive streams. |

Below: By now the rain
had stopped, so good-bye ponchos. Karen Duquette photographed Lee
Duquette as he was photographing Alex walking under the arch.. |
|
| Below: Natural Arch of Kentucky is one of
the best examples of a shelter type natural arch found anywhere. It
has a span of 100-feet. |

Natural Arch, the attached formation looked like a sea horse - check the
zoomed in view and see if you agree. |

Below: On the way back
to the RV, there was a Texaco sign in the middle of a grassy field. |
