Scenic Adair Co., KY: A pleasant, primal scene, above Inroad 2012-09-01 - Off Dug Hill, KY 704, above Inroad, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. It wasn't meant to be more than a place setting snap a little signal on the camera to remind me of where I'd been, to mark where other pretty pictures were taken. But it brings back so many memories of a wonderful yesteryear, of dirt roads and shifting dust trails leaving patterns for imaginings. It's a private passage - a logging or oil road I guess - off the top of Dug Hill on KY 704. Above Inroad, above the magical lands of the Old Turners, my Adair County ancestors, and that, maybe, is what drew me to it. Maybe, though, it's just the need to explore in all of us, best said by Autis Brockman of Knifley, KY, "I never saw a new road without wondering what's down it." - Linda Waggener Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
