Red River Gorge {Fall 2015}

Our family loves to spend time at the Red River Gorge. Each year we spend our Fall Break tent camping and hiking at the Red River Gorge (provided the weather cooperates).

One of my favorite things to do is to take long meandering drives along winding country roads.  Today we took a drive to Warsaw, Kentucky to check out the Markland Dam.  The Markland Dam (or Markland Locks and Dam) is a dam bridge and locks that spans the Ohio River connecting Gallatin County in Kentucky...
