West Virginia to Kentucky

We had another leisurely morning before setting off from North Bend State Park to Natural Bridge State Park in Kentucky. We didn’t have any set stops along the way, but found a nice spot for lunch at the Grayson Walking Trail in Grayson, KY.

As we got closer to our destination, we stumbled upon Broke Leg Falls in Wellington, KY. It’s a little hidden spot, and I’m sure most people drive by without knowing it’s there. It’s a nice little gorge with a waterfall that you can walk under, and there is a trail going down along the gorge. Broke Leg Falls was in the path of a tornado that went through the area in 2012. The walkway structures have been rebuilt, but the damage to trees is still very evident.

Our home for the next 2 nights is at the Middle Fork Campground in Natural Bridge State Park. This campground was much busier than the last 2, but still a small campground with good amenities. Our campsite was ready and waiting for us – along with the flash flood warning. No heavy rains in the forecast!

Dinner tonight was cheeseburgers, sautéed asparagus and homemade 3-seed bread. We have a 2-burner stovetop in the camper, but some days we don’t want the added heat inside. It was a bit windy, so we had to set up a wind break.

We went to sleep to the song of a whip-poor-will. Tomorrow will be a day of adventure!
