Exploring rocky creeks in woods and cliff-lined hollows has long been a big interest of mine, and making photographs of all that.  I did a lot of that in western Kentucky, and then started on this region in late '94.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter moving here, I made a new friend, Tom,  and he and I did some roaming, by road and a little on foot over the next several years.  Another new friend and co-worker, David,  and I did a lot of cave exploring in 1996, and some surface hiking.  I met my wife Barb several years after moving to this region.  She likes the outdoors too, and she and I went on many outings.  Then Majid found my website I had at the time and contacted me.  We became friends and he and I went on many outings since then.   We did a lot of hiking in parts of the DBNF here, and a few other places not in DBNF.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eI made many photos during all those hikes, of cliffs, waterfalls, rocky creeks, and some views from overlooks.  I made many photos inside caves in 1996, and had an article published in Kentucky Living magazine late that year.  For a while, I had a cave section on my website, which is now gone.  That's how Majid found me.   I might do a book on caves in this region, the small number I went to.  I have many cave photos.  David and I weren't hard core cavers.  We just went where other people had been, and where we could walk mostly.  Those caves were new to us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMostly, I and who ever was with me hiked on the surface in interesting places, and there are many in this region, many more than I will see.  I did a lot of roaming in the boonies by myself in a Jeep while I had one.  That was more than 20 years ago.  After that, Barb and I did a lot of roaming in different trucks we had.  For the last several  years, it has been Majid and I going out to the boonies to hike and explore interesting places.  I said a little more on all this in my introduction at the beginning of the first Book, Part 1.  I have an introduction in each book.  This book contains a continuation of where I left off in the first book, the rest of Section 5.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44234972922017,"sku":"topthirty447","price":39.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/yvvkqr7-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1713731241","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/hiking-and-exploring-in-parts-of-daniel-boone-national-forest-and-other-areas-part-2","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
