Barnetts Creek Road Bridge set for replacement early 2017 2016-10-16 - Barnetts Creek Road, near Pellyton, Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com (c). The narrow Barnetts Creek Road bridge west of Pellyton, Adair County, KY, has funding in place for replacement with a wider span, and a raised and widened approach to allow two-way use of the bridge. The replacement has been scheduled for early 2017, Adair County Judge Executive Michael Lee Stephens said. The court approved and engineering contract for Barnett's Creek Bridge at its Tuesday, October 11, 2016 regular session. Judge Stephens said that final specifications for the bridge and approaches will be determined by the engineer, Greg Eastham. Barnett's Creek north, beyond this bridge, continues into Casey County by Barnett's Creek Road, or, via Gennie Hill Road, accesses Sanders Ridge Road in Adair, at a point a short distance South to Pellyton, or north to KY 70 at the Creston Baptist Church, either way through some of the most delightful byways anywhere on earth. - Ed Waggener Photo, Saturday, October 15, 2016.

Fall color: Sumac on Ewing Ridge Road, Casey County, KY 2016-10-16 - Ewing Road, Casey County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com (c). Along Ewing Ridge Road, which makes a delightful loop between KY 206 in Casey County just South of Creston to KY 206 still in Casey County, just north of Ellistown in Adair County, there's a trail of autumn delights through harvested corn fields, ready for harvest soybeans, beautiful homes, and miles of tree tunnels. Along the way, in fence rows fall color is beginning to show, like this brilliant red sumac, backlit by the evening sun. It's another reason never to go to Gatlinburg. There's no scenery there to match Ewing Ridge, and, for us, it was a discovery trip, the first time we were ever there. - EW See: Wikipedia/Sumac Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Right now, before a frost, they aren't yet fitten to eat. - EW Comments - Sharon Wheeler: Does anyone sell persmmons after frost?
