Good to see you eating food besides peanut butter and tuna fish. Also being a man of your word is no easy - especially when it comes to blizzards!

Thanks for visiting one of our state gems. Some of the “unofficial trails” lead to the most beautiful arches and places . You just have to do your research first. Always be careful as there’s countless spurs off of these trails and easy to get lost. That cherry drink you were drinking is referred to as a “pop” locally, but my family says soda. That soda is called “A-8-One,” but you didn’t have the original, just a one of the lesser flavors. They’re produced very locally (about 45 minutes away) in Winchester, KY and it’s very popular in KY. Their packaging even has photos from Auxier Ridge on it. ❤

We had a wonderful time in KY! Great people and sights! Thank for the information. So wonderful to experience new cultures!

The soft drink you had is pronounced ale-eight-one. It was invented in Winchester, KY, 25 miles from Natural Bridge. It is still made exclusively in Winchester and will celebrate 100 years in 2026.

Really cool insight! Thanks for sharing that cool piece of RRG history!

Thank you for going to RRG!!! It's a magical place. Your videos as always were great. If you go back you have to promise to go to Miguel's. It's the best pizza seriously. Nothing like a meal outside with everyone there!!!! WORTH THE WAIT.

Appreciate the kind words, Katherine! Smiling because you are now the third person to recommend Miguel's! The place must be outstanding. Made a note!

That doesn't look like tuna! Looks like a wonderful day exploring the park. That arch was indeed quite nice. This park had a really great collection of shorter trails with good rewards. It's nice that you don't have to hike for 10 miles to get a good view. Those grape juice rocks were cool! Wow, the view at the end is stunning!

I love that you got a good taste of what Eastern Kentucky offers. So many wonderful places to explore. Once again, if you’re ever in the area again please look me up. I’ll show you some of the stuff off the beaten path. Plus you need to eat at Miguel’s pizza and wash it down with Kentuckys own Ale 8-one (a ginger based soft drink, “a late one”)

Daniel Boone National Forest is a very nice place, along the hiking are treated to very beautiful forest and rock views. It's more fun because you go hiking with your family 👍🏻👍🏻

So nice! I suspect that there are natural bridge formations, "lover's leaps" and "chimney rocks" in nearly every state. However, these views in Kentucky are absolutely beautiful! Well done!

"Sky Bridge Station"... was happy with the food, proximity to the hikes and service.

Nope...it's "pop" in Kentucky...one state farther down(Tennessee)and everything's a "coke"...lol. You can always tell native Tennesseans, Georgians and Alabammers (lol) by them calling everything soda a coke.
