Speaking of site seeing there by air, south of Pineville, is a huge boulder
chained to the mountain! Looks small from the ground or even from the
air....but each link of chain was carried up the mountain by a mule, they
are pretty dang big! Supposedly the town was afraid this rock was going to
dislodge and crush the town. So they chained it to the mountain.

Which part of the KY hills did you go through Jim? It really is a pretty
drive in alot of southeastern KY.

We got off near Corbin, onto 25E, down through the Cumberlin Gap, and
into
Tennessee, and then eventually back to I-40.

The last overlook before you start down, looking out over the lakes was
spectacular. I think I was last there in around 1967, or 68, when I was 9
or 10 years old. I don't suppose I really appreciated the view, back
then.

Required aviation component: You could only see a better view, if you
were
flying over it. :-)
