Funeral procession two blocks long - more are other queues 2014-09-24 - Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener. A huge crowd is in Columbia, KY, today, with first response vehicles from all over Kentucky - as far away as Paducah - and vehicles have been reported spotted from Indiana, Tennessee, Georgia, and even Washington, DC. One of the largest number of media organizations ever in Columbia are present. With the crowds of mourners far exceeding the seating capacity of the Columbia Christian Church, far more are standing outside than inside. Spectators, including those on the roof of the Adair County Judicial Center, are finding vantage points wherever possible. The vehicles here are from Campbellsville, Breeding and Adair County Fire Departments and EMS organizations, who make up only a small fraction of the first response units taking part.

Scenic Adair Co., KY: Steep, steep Hood Cemetery Road 2014-09-24 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. The views from little known Hood Cemetery Road are spectacular. It seems like a trip down a West Virginia mountain side. This scene was captured earlier this week, on a foggy morning, from higher up the hill, catching a switchback below as the road joins Pelham Branch Road. Already there's a hint of fall color, which, we're hearing, will peak at around the end of October, anticipated to be the most beautiful fall ever. - EW (Hood Cemetery Road is steep. If anyone has metrics on just how steep, please let us know.) Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
