Gray's Arch
Red River Gorge Geological Area
Daniel Boone National Forest
Kentucky
Hard to believe that it is a year ago today that myself and my good friend Christopher Morris and I made the 5 mile knee deep round trip hike to Gray's Arch in the Red River Gorge after 18 inches was dumped on central/eastern Kentucky. At times during the trek it seemed like one of the dumbest things I've ever done but looking back it was an adventure of a lifetime where I pushed myself to my limits to see one of my favorite places as few have. But the hike in the snow was half the adventure, as temps plummeted during the hike when we arrived back to my 1987 soft top Jeep Wrangler. Being soaked from sweating and driving 65 mph down Mountain Parkway on the way home as it was 5 degrees outside made for a cold, cold return ride. We even stopped at Wal-Mart after 40 miles on the road and bought dry cloths and changed in the bathroom. Oh, and I forgot to mention that I ruined my 4 wheel drive busting through a snow drift. What a day, one of my favorites!
