I don't know how long ago that article was published but I find it simply amazing that in this one article we can see (1) the natural bridge that Swift crossed, (2) the Indian steps, (3) the Myrtle thicket, (4) the lighthouse, (5) the half moon cliff, (6) the buffalo rock and (7) the mine entrance photos. Even more amazing is that this was photographed by the author who took his vacation, came to Kentucky and found everything we have all been looking for presumably in only a few short weeks. I haven't seen photos of any of these places or objects posted on the forum before, even though some people claim to have such photos. So what's up guys? Why does this article seem to make the task at hand so simple?

Hi all... this is a great post. Most of the pictures in the story have been posted on the site before. These are some old pictures of the Red River Gorge from back in the 1800's. These were taken just after all the logging done here.
