Axtel Campground, Kentucky




Axtel Campground, Kentucky, Address: 14500 Falls of Rough Rd, Falls of Rough, KY 40119, Phone: (270) 257-2584, I was trying to recall if we normally go out in the camping world in April? I know the month of February we have never ever been camping??! It is kind of cold then. 

So we were heading to Illinois for a get together with other camping buddies ... stopped at this park ... I believe my hubby had picked 3 camping spot before we got to finally keep this one we did stay in ... they were flooding as you can see. This is dam controlled ... but it does go into their camping spots and that is what happened to our other 1st wishes for camping??! Wild, huh???! You will never guess what the weather was like in the morning?? We woke up to falling snow, the hubby talked to another camper he was talking about snow in the morning, and the hubs looked at the weather report and it said NO SNOW, how do these weather folks get their jobs? One job where you can always be wrong, huh??! LOL!! ... that was wild. Luckily nothing really stuck around, just on the the grass, tops of cars and such ...what sure was wild to see it and need to get to the restrooms (A VERY COLD SHOWER!!!). Cold trek. Thank you for stopping by today. Hope you are well. Take Care. Be Well & Be Blessed!!! Beth ( ;

Our favorite campground has also flooded, but I heard the other day it is now back open. I think this is the third year that flooding rains have covered the campground and shut the loops down. How wierd that it snowed the next day..that is crazy weather. I would almost think you were in Arkansas, because that sounds just like ours!

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get

Lincoln's New Salem, Petersburg, Illinois

"Lincoln's New Salem" , Petersburg, Illinois. Can we just say 1st how difficult it is to spell ILLINOIS. nuts!! I think it is even easier to spell MISSISSIPPI. right??! We were told about this site, thanks to a tour guide in Colorado, he said there is a man who works here that look just like Abe Lincoln himself during his young years. Now if you know anything about me, I LOVE HISTORY. 2nd I love anything Abe Lincoln, he's one of my most favorite presidents ever. So I was super excited to meet this gentleman, do you think he was working the day we visited? nope, any ways... A lovely walk & we had fun seeing all the animals. I wonder why we live in such big homes, this one above shows a nice size home all you need in one little room. Less space, less money to pay each month. Sounds good to me!!!
