At Green River Lake State Park: As in touch as you want to be 2011-08-22 - Photo by Pen. From the picnic area, there's a view of The Cut, the old Lone Valley Roadway, now a Green River Lake channel. It's a great place to relax, one of South Central Kentucky's Best Kept Secrets. But if you do have to keep in touch, cell phone service/email connections are good; and for a small charge, the store at the park sells Wi-Fi connections.

Perp caught in the act by co-conspirator 2011-08-21 - Dayton, OH - Photo by Chris Bennett. Chris Bennett writes: Although the sign said "do not touch" Adair County, KY resident Mark Hale could not resist the urge to touch the Lockheed Martin SR-71 "Blackbird" on display at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, near Dayton Ohio. The photo was taken by his "partner in crime" Chris Bennett. "Action" Neal Jackson took no pleasure at the disrespect shown by the two perpetrators, and looked on the scene from a distance with disgust. Alan Reed one of the founding planners of the event was AWOL, and had no power to stop the misdeed. Principal Reed was quoted later as saying "You boys should act better when you travel to foreign lands like Ohio, it reflects poorly on our school!" The perps were unavailable for comment as they were both grounded after Principal Reed placed a call to their parents.
