Yes, it was short: only three days and two nights. But wow was it fun!! I know my next trip probably won't be as "pretty" (I'm hoping to go to the Sultana museum and some other places), but it'll hopefully still be exciting. I had never been to the Red River Gorge before, just past the signs. I'm so glad I have that scratched off the list of places I haven't been to now. Wow, was it beautiful. I'll bet it's even better in the autumn, but that's okay. As Ray Stevens once sang, everything is beautiful. The summer beauty is as amazing as the fall colors. So, until I take off again (which may be in the morning), I'll leave you with THIS sign. Only in Kentucky, huh? Apparently (I can't find any verification of this), the trail gets rather narrow in places; hence, the name. Thanks for coming along!

Still trying to work out the meaning of that sign.

Truthfully? Me too.

I'm assuming it's pinching your body (or any part, G-rated or not) in the narrow areas. In Rock City they have a place called "Fat Man's Squeeze," and I guess it's the same principle. Just worded much more weirdly.

I've been to Red River Gorge within the last few years. I'm not recalling seeing that sign, but that doesn't mean that I didn't. We took the lift up and walked back down. We enjoyed it there.

@terri0824 — I took the chairlift one time I was there (Natural Bridge State Park). I have acrophobia, so they had to pry me out of the seat at the top.

There are some odd names for places around here, too. Pretty and I used to go to places like that and try to find out how they got the names... Some have an interesting story and some don't. I enjoy spring/summer and fall forest trails. As long as I'm not climbing scree slopes or wading through water or mud, I'm game to go with you.

(I'm gimpy right now so no long distance walking, please. My sciatic nerve is acting up again.)

Lots of licks in eastern Kentucky (Flat Lick, Paint Lick, etc.). I like Cuba, Missouri…I can always say my car was hijacked to Cuba!

@FourWalls We have Gobbler and Turkey Holler in Missouri... Neither one of those have an interesting story, according to the locals. Peculiar and Knob Lick didn't have good stories, either.
