Yes it was posted already, its a two part article authored by Rebecca Timmins who moved to and lived near Swift Camp Creek in the Red River Gorge and searched the remainder of her adult life for one of his mines in the later 1800's. She is probably one of the more infamous searchers and Swift Journal owners. They named an arch after her in her memory (but spelled it wrong Timmon's Arch).
