Hello from the Daniel Boone National Forest

Hello from the Daniel Boone National Forest.
This is my first time on the forum.
I just retired and moved from Ohio.
I purchased 68.56 acres with a three bedroom log cabin and a 1/4 acre pond on the edge of the Daniel Boone Forest,(Southeastern Kentucky).Im about 3 to 5 miles east of the Wilderness road.
Ive been here about a month now.
I enjoy flintlocks,caplocks,black powder revolvers,archery ( traditional long bows ), and I just started trapping.

Welcome 82nd Airborne. Sounds like you got yourself a nice plot of land.

Welcome. Lots of good stuff here. Enjoy.

Welcome to the Bluegrass mate! - A little out of your way but, if you grow tired of all of the in-line hunters tromping around the woods in your parts during the up-coming late MZ season, check out the Pioneer Weapons WMA near Cave Run Lake - no in-lines, no scopes, sidelock only. It is tough hunting but enjoyable to share a good size hunk of hunting land with like minded sportsmen.

 

Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome and all the information.

Welcome 82Airborne! Your intro really took me back. I grew up in Ohio myself, just north of Dayton, and used to spend a lot of time down in Dan'l Boone National Forest. Red River Gorge, particularly. I always loved working with a pal to get up onto "The Moon" for a night of camping. (We were stupid kids. Who else would tie a tent off onto nothing in order to sleep on a rock way up there where the winds really could blow you away?) And my favorite time of year for camping was winter!

The DB Forest is also where I learned to rappel, and I used to always bring a rocklock with me. Man, that takes me back!

Now I'm down here in the Steamy and very flat South. Those are great memories, though, and you've stirred a few of 'em up. Thanks.

And welcome! (Great group here. You're gonna love 'em.)

Wecome to the forum. I just signed on today, but had to say HI to a fellow paratrooper. It's been many years since I wore an 82nd patch on my shoulder but I can remember like yesterday. Take care and best of luck to your in you retirement.

 

Thanks again everyone for the warm welcome.
I look forward to being on this site, asking questions and gathering information.
Thanks again.

Sounds like you are living a dream.

 

Thanks Bigbore. It does seem like a dream.
There is something about being in the same forest that Daniel Boone and Simon Kenton were once in.
I would like to go on but I know I am not suppose to get into discussion in the welcome center.
