Arches, arches everywhere, but not a drop to drink . . until AFTER the hike! LOL
We'll head to the Copperas Creek area to see Hopewell, Sandy, Guardian, Aley's, Snow, Double Deer, and Wolf Head arches as well as see where the creek goes below and pops back up above ground.
Make sure to bring a headlamp and waterproof boots as there will be many crossing of the creek and it will be Winter! Brr!
If people are interested, instead of an out and back, we can go out via Osborne Bend and catch a few more arches (Osborne, Unicorn, and Trapdoor) as was done when Mark led a similar hike a couple of years ago.
Please plan on carpooling because there is limited parking at the Osborne Bend Parking Lot on KY-175 just west of the one lane concrete bridge.
We will carpool from the Burger King located at 4868 Houston Rd. just off the Turfway exit (Exit 182). We will meet between 7:15 and 7:30, leaving at 7:30am sharp! I'll be driving the Red, Pontiac G6.
If you are not planning on meeting us at the carpool please let me know.
