From Dubois County

Hey Reader,

There is a trail that runs along the Red River in the gorge where we went for our getaway these past few days.

As we were returning from a long hike along the trail back to our car, we saw a large group of young men climbing a rock across the river from us. Fortunately, the trail provided a clear view of their antics and a few well-placed roots as a bench to watch from.

After a few moments of sitting there watching them take turns jumping from the rock, another group of folks walked up from the parking lot and, seeing the show, sat down on the same root with us.

The group jumping from the rock was a fraternity from Eastern Kentucky University. For many, it was their first time on this popular destination on the river.

Some were bold and, after looking over the edge, threw their Crocs over and jumped. Others required goading and countdowns to dive.

We sat through the entire show with the folks that joined us, and we cheered together at some of the spectacular dives and hard slaps into the water.

The guys jumping in saw us taking photos and asked for some, to which we plan on obliging, but I thought we'd share a couple here.

Amy and I both walked away saying it was one of our more memorable moments over the break.

Thank you for bearing with us as we have been on a brief break.

From Dubois County with love.

Matthew and Amy Crane
