Highbridge Park on a nice day

Spring is arriving in Lexington now in full force. On Saturday, while Cindy was in her day-long class, the girls and I went out to Highbridge Park. It's about 5 miles from campus and is a nice little place to take a gander at the Kentucky River . Ron Pyron always says, "Pictures, man, pictures." So, here ya' go, Ron.

Cora rides a train about like she's in a rodeo.Youngest to Oldest.
You don't get a good sense of the drop-off here, but the viewing platform hangs above the river valley. Those aren't weeds to Meghan's right, they are tree tops. We enjoyed our time together while mom was off getting some book-learnin'.
The park exists next to a train bridge that spans the river valley. Built in 1877, it was (in its day) the highest train trestle bridge in the world. It's still in use today.
