Knobstone Trail Hiking

Indiana is rightly noted for being pretty much flat and covered in corn and soy but waaaay down by Kentucky they have some dirt that is hill-shaped rather than being flat and on this hill-shaped dirt they have a trail called the Knobstone Trail. We visited this with some friends for camping and hiking purposes and found it was pretty nice (aside from the seven(!) ticks Ana managed to pick up).  Full picture set on Flickr and selections below.

We had to drive to get there so it was car-camping which allows for considerable luxury vs. backpacking. 


 Indiana apparently possesses large bright yellow and green spiders. 


The horizon goes forever when you're on the one tall part of a whole flat state. 

 Camera's panorama function remains cool.

 Hiking pictures now featuring more than just Ana!

Interesting tree shapes may be related to a major tornado that passed over this specific area a couple of years ago.
