Looking for vacation info.... Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri

[shaman]

Check out the Big South Fork on the KY/TN border



Places to visit:

Yahoo Falls -- tallest in KY
Cumberland Falls -- close to BSF  one of only two places with a moonbow
Blue Heron Overlooks -- Spectacular views. Hike to Mine 18
Mine 18 -- reconstructed coal town -- ride the train from Stearns

. . . I've been going for 30 years and I still haven't seen all the sites. My wife grew up there; she hasn't seen them all.  Most are an easy hike from a parking lot, but you can go as deep as you want. BSF is big.

Places to Stay:

Parkland in Stearns
Cumberland Park Inn, Campground, Cabins
Blue Heron Campground
Great Meadows Campground

The campgrounds are usually empty except for holiday weekends.

There's a lot to see around Little rock and a nice state park lodge. Never been to Nashville. In Kym there's Ky horse park ( a good visit) definitely do some of the bourbon trail. I would recommend Woodford Reserve, Wild turkey and Makers Mark. You could also visit the barrel factory. The red river gorge area is nice. I have never found anything great about Indiana corn fields (sorry hoosiers).
