What do Kentuckians know that we up here in the mountains don't? Friends of ours who were driving through that fine midwestern state sent us this photo:




A really, really early warning of an upcoming exit? Advice about moving to the west coast? A time portal from Kentucky to California? What gives, those of you in the know?

I think KY deserves a new thread.

There was a hwy 395 in Shelbyville. I was truly on the east side.

There were signs to vote for you know who in front yards out in the country.

I think I gained 6 pounds in 4 days while we were there.

I forgot how relatively smart Califorons are.

I learned The Walking Dead is written by a couple guys in Cynthiana - near Paris, KY

As far as the Sonora mystery, you could always just ask Noal. He seems to know everything. :ciappa: :devildevil:  :puke:

I think there is a mispelling on that sign. They put a r where a m should be. How's that for knowledge?

Funny how there is a hwy 49 along the way.

Kentucky Route 84 is a 66 mile long state highway in KY that connects KY Route 401 southwest of Hudson to KY Route 49 and KY Route 52 in Lebanon via Eastview, Sonora, Hodgenville, and Raywick.

Sonora is in Hardin County. Population is about 500.

The city is less than 1 square mile in area. Elevation 725 feet.

Brad would fit right in, in his Daisy Dukes :devildevil: :lol:

Sorry brocephus,
There is no Sonoma, KY. They do have vineyards in Lexington and a few other spots. The limestone there makes good soil for grapes. Most of the vineyards we drove past looked pretty puny. They are much better at making bourbon. They also grow tasty tobacco and mine high quality coal. They could make a fortune on hemp. There were huge farms there growing it back in the old days.

So glad you two could join us.

Holey Moley is sure foreshortened in the full-length shot - in real life it's all of 60 feet high.

Kick-ass day with J.C. and Joel Primrose. Finished two new routes:

- The Mary Davis Route 5.9 **

- Doctor Pat Corner 5.8 ***

Both are 140 feet long on superb granite. All the photos were taken with John's  camera, so he'll have to post them.

John was on fire leading the crux of The Mary Davis Route.

We also got three bolts in the slab FA of my (recent) dreams. So far it's well protected 5.10a. It'll take another dozen bolts or so (it's 160 feet high).

Damn the Sierra is beautiful!

I'm ready to come back and enjoy some more of the Sierra.  Not sure if JC told you or not, but my last day of work is August 3.  That gives me lots of time to climb on Granite. :D

Please note that if Tuff Chik climbs granite too her Pinns membership will be revoked. All FA fun escheats back to Mungie.

With all this granite talk Mud may need to change the dns to point to a new domain name.

Brad leading Dr. Pat Corner - coming up to the breaking wave - look out!  :thumbup: :yesnod: :biggrin:





Joel leads pitch 1 of The Mary Davis Route. It splits off up and left into that short crack
You can also see the top portion of the stellar Dr. Pat Corner, cutoff in the pic of Brad because my hand shading the camera had to be cropped out





JC high-clipping the crux bolt on pitch 2 of The Mary Davis Route - cue the Randy Newman song Short People  :lol:
