Hiking in Kentucky

While in Kentucky for my family reunion we went hiking. The reunion is held in the beautiful Natural Bridge State Park in Slade, Kentucky. The first hiking venture was to a cave/arch and is was 1/2 mile round trip. I was not sure how much Chance would want to or be able to walk but between the four of us (my sister Kristy, Her boyfriend Chris (in first picture with Chance) and her friend Samara) we could carry him if we had to. He walked almost the whole way up at least all the areas I would let him. Some of the way the path was not wide enough and went straight down the mountain so we carried him then. The cave was small but very nice. One area had water spilling in from the top like a waterfall and the other area was more closed in with a hole right at the top with light spilling into the cave. Chance liked the cave, he stood where the water was coming down, it misted him till his hair was all wet. We carried him a bit of the way back down but he loved every minute of wondering in the wilderness. We spent the first day, Friday just hiking around and exploring the cabin we stayed in for the weekend. Chance did well after the long drive though he was tired. Next time we will have to go a day earlier to give him some more time to rest from the drive before the day of the reunion on Saturday which is and was a long day. Deedle was also happy to be out of the car and in a place where he got so much attention and was able to run around in the cabin.
