Welcome! Great little town there! We spent the night in Clay City a couple years ago. That's where we had our first taste of Ale-8-One!

We brought a six pack home with us. We were on a weekend roadtrip. Checked out Fort Boonesborough and down through your area. We went through the Nada Tunnel! WOW! That was cool!

Will most likely visit the area again sometime.

Nice old pics (just need to keep the size down) :wink: :thumbsup:

Looks like some detecting potential there.

Good luck and HH!

Ale 8's are tourist favorites . what can i say i grew up on it, and this seems to be a quite little town. An whole block burned in 1932, its a field now ive learned, great place to detect...hopeing to find some gold or silver jewlry...
If your ever through here check out the furnaces, and red river gorge.......lots of history.
