We did run to the sporting goods store Saturday to look at hiking and rock climbing gear! Boy is it expensive!!!!!!!!!!! But I got to thinking. You know, it’s worth it……..I mean it is your LIFE you’re putting in those harness’s and helmets!

This week I thought I would spend a few minutes on safety suggestions for the spring and summer outdoor season; ADVENTURE TOURISM, as we call it here in the tourism industry! First, let someone know where you’re going and when you are heading out on your adventure. Take a buddy with you. It’s more fun with a group anyway! Camping is fine, just stick to the campgrounds or stake out a flat “ground level” areas away from cliff sides. Always place a typed-out index card, (keep it in your glove box) with name, emergency phone numbers, address and other important information about yourself on the console of your car while you’re outdoors.
Okay I have talked enough about all that…………on to some other tidbits……….This is Black History Month! Kentucky’s African Americans in the Military is a great event that will happen
the 19th (that’s this week ) plus lots more planned throughout the month!
