-That's one of the reasons that Hams park failed. Kentucky is a particularly beautiful state. The exit that leads to the ark park also leads to legitimately surreal landscapes and caves, huge sheared outcroppings of rock in which the floor of an ancient inland sea can be found....a hop and a skip away from the appalachian range, danny boone...and mammoth cave. Red River Gorge, Natural Bridge, two or three hours to the west is The Land Between the Lakes. The ohio/kentucky river and all of it's tributaries cut through the valleys and hollers. The bluegrass (actrually blue, btw, due to high amounts of calcium..which is why people finish their racehorses here...don't want a buncha broken ankles) and hills dot every space in between.....hell, the land the park was built on was noticeably degraded by plopping that pile of shit down on it. This state was once, in a very real sense, the american congo..and only ceased to be so in that weal;thy european immgrants came here and attempted to remake their homeland - the architecture and thoroughbred complexes reflect that..as do the many invasive, non native trees and plants. On the other end of it, this is coal country, and so the relationship that the american poor and frontiersmen have always toiled under played itself out here like a microcosm of the whole.
There is no shortage of awesome shit to see and do here...the ark doesn't even make the long list.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
