B S F

  On our way to Tennessee to visit Grammie and Grandpa, the boys and I took the back roads in Kentucky...for a change of pace.  We planned to stop for a hike in BSF Park.  And we had to stop at the Scenic Railway nearby.
   This train is used for passenger excursions, but we timed it a day too early for that.  However, we did get the privilege AND the joy (for two smaller people especially) of seeing a real, live train pass by on the real train tracks right nearby. 

   Later, as we headed to the Interstate after our hike, we also "raced" next to a real moving train as it paralleled the highway.  Oh what fun for two very train oriented little guys!  "Mom, go faster and catch up with it!" "Mom, slow down so we can watch it."  "Mom, where did it go? Oh...there it is! Drive Faster!!!"


Our hike...we traveled off the Interstate.  And we headed into BSF to find a trail.  The trail we found and chose to hike was an Arch.  We didn't know what to expect, but for such a short hike (0.7 miles one way)...it was a just enough to stretch the legs and gave us quite a sight to see!

   I spotted this overlook area and snapped some pictures from this overhead view of where we had been.

   We walked to the  Overlook and saw this view.  But it was too buggy with gnats to stick around and actually eat!  So, we walked back to the car and ate our lunch in the car!  Real troopers, right? :)
