Fall in the Red

Fall in the Red

BEATTYVILLE, KY—Once again, Jess and I find ourselves at the Red River Gorge. We are happy to consider this place one of our homes away from home. It’s one of the areas in the US where we’re most happy and in balance with work and play. Aside from natural beauty, it has most of the amenities that make living and recreating here a joy.

For us, staying in the southern gorge at Lago Linda Hideaway is the best. Linda’s is a quiet campground known for chill campers, hot showers, wifi, and plenty of space to run the dog or go on walks around the lake.

Like last spring, we arrived again to lots of rain. Sadly, it lasted probably the first week and a half and by about day five, we were really getting stir crazy and wondering if this season, too, would be a bust. Thankfully, this wet weather gave way to some spectacular blue skies and dry conditions which lasted at least two weeks.  Now we find ourselves enjoying the peak of Kentucky’s fall color, a sight that must be seen to be believed. There’s nowhere else we’d rather be in the fall. I hope you are all getting outside and enjoying the colors and taking in the natural beauty we are all surrounded by. Climbing or no climbing, this is my favorite time of year.
