Breathtaking Trails<br />
Turkey Run State Park - Trail 6<br />
Around the Turkey Run State Park Inn<br />
<br />
This was the first trail we hiked and it is breathtaking! Much cooler down in the gully, crevice or whatever it's called. If you ever get the opportunity I highly suggest visiting Turkey Run for a few days - even if it is sweltering hot like during our visit. Make sure you're in shape and ready to hike. I need to continue working out so I can better enjoy the trails next time we visit.<br />

The area is beautiful and so is my wife who gives scale to the magnitude of the rocks and other formations of this enchanting park.<br />

Once again you can see the affects of the drought reflected by the extremely low river water level. The sun is setting and the temp was over 100 at the time this photo was taken.<br />

It was like 102 F out and neither Peggy nor I wanted anything to do with a sunset as it was hot enough in the shade.<br />

  • The Old Paths<br />

Near the Turkey Run State Park Inn<br />
<br />
This photo and trail 11 to the Old Log Church reminded me of Jeremiah 6:16: "Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein."<br />
<br />
We took the "old paths" and were able to attend a wonderful volunteer lead church service in the Old Log Church on Sunday.<br />
