Cumberland Falls near Corbin, KY
Rain and more rain hit on our last day in Lexington, KY, and continued for days later. By the time we got to the home of former Denver neighbors in Corbin, KY, we were perpetually damp and had mud stains up to mid-calf. I even bought a pair of calf-high rubber boots to navigate through the muck!
In the midst of endless rain, we adopted the attitude, “If you can’t beat it, join it,” piled into the car and, under menacing clouds, headed to Cumberland Falls in Daniel Boone National Forest. The sun teased us with hints of sun glow but never came out – a frustration for David, the photographer. But the beauty of the Cumberland Falls’ roaring, tumbling waters brought a smile to my face. Our timing was wrong to witness it, but under full moons, a phenomenon supposedly seen nowhere else in the world — a moonbow – is created by the mist of the falls under moonlight. For us, it was enough to enjoy the sight without rain showering on us!
