April 20, 1991 I married my best friend. Yesterday we celebrated our 27th anniversary by going for a 11.5 mile hike at nearby Daniel Boone National Forrest. It has the Red River Gorge flowing through it as well as the Sheltowee Trail (marked by the white turtle).
We decided to do a hike we’ve never done before and it was definitely a good choice. We spent about 3 miles hiking parallel to the river and the other 3 at the top of the park. We had 4 river crossings that were a bit technical in order not to get soaked and cold. We both got wet but it was tolerable.
The weather was near perfect starting in the high 40’s and ending in the mid to high 50’s.
We have learned to love being out hiking. It’s a place where we can talk about everything or not talk at all and we are both ok with that.
My hubs is a speed walker/hiker and I like to hike nice and slow and enjoy the scenery so for the most part I’ll attempt to lead the hike so I can stop and enjoy Mother Nature.
We finished the hike in about 4.5 hours and decided to go ahead and drive 2 hours home to relax for the rest of the evening. This was our first hike of the season and I think it drained us both.
Happy Trails!
