Hey Bonefish,

Nice post. You are also speaking of some of my favorite haunts. I've spent a good bit of the last two decades on the KY near Highbridge and more specifically up on the Dix all the way up to the dam. I've read some of your posts over the years so you probably will agree with this - but there are sections of both the KY and the Dix where if you stop what you're doing and just listen to the quiet, it can feel like you're the last person on the earth.

I have seen my share of wildlife out there too, deer, foxes, hawks, beavers ... even a bobcat many many years ago.

I think those deep palisade walls are a refuge - for wildlife and us humans too.

*I'm going out there next Thursday through Sunday. Now just talking about it I'm going to have an even harder time counting down the days.
