Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

A few pics from yesterday (Monday: 5/4/15).

Dad & myself took a day hike up to Cumberland Falls in southern Kentucky to celebrate his retirement. This is a beautiful waterfall (referred to as the "Niagara Of The South"), and is the 2nd-widest waterfall east of the Mississippi River.



There are miles of hiking trails around the falls, observation platforms, and other walkways.

Our goal on any given hiking adventure is to capture as much wildlife on camera as possible. The Cumberland Falls area sits inside Daniel Boone National Forest, and is home to black bear, deer, fox, coyote, raccoon, the list goes on and on. We saw...none of the above.
But I did come across this interesting-looking insect which was walking along one of the railings to an observation deck. (He/she must've been wanting a good view of the falls as well).

After looking it up online, it turns out this cool fellow is called an Eastern-Eyed Click Beetle. You can read more about these nifty critters here:

Looks like a perfect place to get away from it all. How many other people do you come across while hiking around there?

It wasn't really that crowded. There were some people around the main area where the gift shop & overlook platforms are. But once you head into the woods it really feels like you own the place. The roar of the waterfall can be heard from every corner of the park. There is also a big lodge where people stay overnight, and it's parking lot looked pretty full when we drove by last night.

I'll have to add it my list of possible woodsy getaways!

You would love it. Very nice park with an away-from-it-all feel to it.

It's the Front side Of Water, of course. Distant relative to Backside Of Water on Jungle Cruise. Named after Henry H. Falls.

So here is a quick video I threw together from yesterday with different views of the falls...showing the sheer force & sound of the water:
That's a lot of water

It's just a shame that those who need to read this the most will not do so and if they did they would not recognize themselves as needing to read it.
