JOHN
SNELL'S COURTHOUSE MOONRISE |
The RRS is honored this week to present an Exclusive Red River Gorge Photo supplied to us by famed Lexington Photographer John W. Snell. Auxier Ridge's Courthouse Rock is one of the most popular areas to explore in all of the Gorge. The Full Moon of June 2008 is captured by Mr. Snell with a Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II Camera. We offer this latest image as a Computer Desktop Wallpaper and to view it you need to [CLICK HERE] Review the Entire RRS John W. Snell Gallery [CLICK HERE] Here's a humorous AVANTI DESIGNS update on the ongoing creation of the Custom-made RRS Rings: "The One Ring (Master Model) was forged in the Mystical Fires deep in the base of Mount Doom, (cast in my basement using a medium frequency induction casting machine). Its weight was a massive burden for its wearer (Super Bowl style hunk o metal weighing 24.5 grams). Its surface was inscribed with Mysterious Runes (Red River Saga EST 1977) that gave its wearer Amazing Magical Powers. (Makes you irresistible to super hot chicks) Instead of destroying it as was decided at the Council of Elrond the Campers (Red River Saga Crew) decided that everyone needed one so that they could all be Rulers of Middle Earth (Indian Glen). For reference an equal weight that you can simulate is about 5 quarters." You Now have 7 days to submit your Ring Size in order to Secure Construction of your own RRS Ring.

TRAIL
OF DESPAIR PHOTOS |
Finally the time has been unearthed to acquire, process and post the photos from May 9 - 11's MAD MOUNTAIN MIKE AND THE TRAIL OF DESPAIR. The Journey itself was initially delayed for two weeks due to an unfavorable Weather Forecast which never materialized. That first set of dates turned out to be excellent and several of us were very upset at the local weatherman. At any rate, Mike and his party enjoyed some interesting sights, discovered the garbage habits of others and explored the access way into the Right Fork of Chimney Top Creek. To view the Photos of this Adventure [CLICK HERE] and Enjoy a New TRAIL OF DESPAIR Desktop [CLICK HERE] This Week also features a New ANDREW'S RANTS which reflects on today's Generation and their music sensibilities. Music of their Era and the respect, rather the lack of it, for the efforts done before them.

RRS:
TRANQUILITY |
Our sights are now set toward the month of September and our 32nd Annual Venture into Red River Gorge. RRS: TRANQUILITY is the Banner we shall fly under this year. The honor of deciding that title won the year before in a Contest of Skill by RRS Member Dawn Blizard. She gave much thought to our trip's history and atmosphere before arriving at this one. A name which implies both Peace and Expectation to those fortunate enough to attend. But first there are 3 months of Hot, Humid Summer Season to traverse. Then the Adventure Begins . . . in the meantime, for the Official Desktop Logo [CLICK HERE] Over at RRGToday.com, Jim Stickley has written a marvelous article on the mission and intent of the USFS Back Country Rangers. With a desire to educate the public on the benefits of safety along with the forthcoming LAC mandates they will hike the Gorge. To read it [CLICK HERE] Heads Up! Next weekend (June 7-8) sees FREE FISHING DAYS in the entire state of Kentucky. No Fishing License are needed for people of all ages to fish. This always means that the Children's Fishing Derby will also take place at the Middle Fork of Indian Creek on Saturday, June 7th (8:00am to 12:00pm).

THE WEDDING |
Saturday, May 27th, 1989 remains the date of our most unique and memorable event in RRS history. On this day the Marriage of Jon Morris and Wendy Terrell took place on our site in Red River Gorge. A glorious day filled with family and friends with some action and adventure thrown in. Upstream along 9B earlier in the week, a Electrical Transformer had accidentally fallen into the stream. All the Fork's occupants were forced to relocate along 9A, the wooden bridge or elsewhere. This created a massive community of people and horses for the Wedding Weekend. In hindsight it only added to the spectacle and the guest list. To See the Wedding pics [CLICK HERE] Also New this Week is the latest edition of ANDREW'S RANTS which perhaps many of you may be able to relate to should you have a teenager in the house or are associated with one. Speaking personally this subject matter hits home very closely and its pretty funny. We continue to run behind on the photos of the latest Mad Mountain Mike Hike. Every effort is being made to get those to you ASAP so please Standby. Visit the busy RRS FORUM regarding subjects like the Alcohol Ban, Cicada, Mars Lander, etc. Also New this Week - OPUS COMIC and NEWSCENTER THE RED RIVER SAGA: TRANQUILITY - 2008 RED RIVER GORGE, KENTUCKY - Sunday thru Sunday, September 7th - 14th, 2008 LOCATION - Indian Glen |
