 Jesse Stuart State Nature Preserve Greenup County, Kentucky Now is the perfect time to take a hike at the nature preserve. A week or two ago, the local state park had a Jesse Stuart weekend and it looks like all the trails were mowed and new maps put out at the trailhead. Our hike was really interesting, we found another grove of Paw Paw trees, some wild grapes (not sure if they are edible?), and some Persimmon trees, which won't be ripe until after a really good frost. I might have some photos of those later on. We also walked upon a Ruffed Grouse, which makes the 2nd one that I've seen this fall. Op's Cabin was the inspiration for several of Jesse Stuart's stories, as well as being his writing cabin at times (so I've been told). Here's some of my Op's Cabin photographs from over the years: January 2006, an entry where I tell some of the history. A snowy day in February 2006. Another photo from 2006 that I posted in 2007. February 2007 after the ugly wood sheeting was placed over the windows. A photo in March 2007 that shows the nice ridgetop field that the cabin sits in. Comment (0) | Permalink |
