Took a trip down to my Kentucky land yesterday. Did some trail work before the bad weather moved in. My 13-11 got a real workout. Cleared lots of brush and small trees for new ATV trails. I can tell you though...it doesn't cut rocks very well. Makes good sparks! I probably hit rock at least a hundred times. Edge needs cleaned up, but no serious harm. Haven't posted much lately, so I thought I'd share some pics.

Started off the morning with coyote calling....no luck though.



Then did some work.









The sulphur well in Sulphur Well, KY. Interesting bit of south central KY history there.

We post the history please

I copied this from the web....Ezekiel Neal began acquiring land along the South Fork in Metcalfe Count in 1832. In 1845 he began digging a well. With a hand and horse powered drill he hit water at a depth of 180 feet. The stream of was has flowed continually since then. Mr. Neal was attempting to hit a salt well as one had been dug on the East Fork of the Little Barren River and was making money for the owner. Disappointingly, this well was not a salt well. The water was analyzed and found to contain Sulphur, Magnesia, Salt and Iron. This combination of chemicals was believed to cure stomach problems and nervous disorders.

Mr. Neal's home was opened as a hotel for people that came to drink the water. Various other boarding houses were opened in the area. The Neal's sold 186 acres including the Sulphur Well in 1854. Construction on the Beula Villa Hotel was begun in 1902 by Catlett W. Thompson. It was completed the next year. Beula Villa was open until 1969. It was modern resort hotel with a dance hall, pool room, bowling alley and a garage for the guest's cars. It was well known for it's warm and relaxed atmosphere and excellent food. Features included a massive 20 foot by 102 foot front porch on which many rocking chairs were provided for patrons to sit and chat.

After it closed in 1969 the Beula Villa fell into ruin with the foundations sagging, windows broken and walls caving in. It has since burned leaving only remnants of the foundation.


There is a restaurant there called the Lighthouse that I'd highly recommend if you're ever looking for authentic south central KY cuisine. Really good. The restaurant has it's own dark history. 3 men died in it's septic tank. 4 others were also overcome by toxic fumes, but were rescued.

You wouldn't happen to have confused Kentucky for Kongelunden, Copenhagen, Denmark?

I took this pic last year, and did a post about my 1311:



Pretty similar to the third pic in your post...

I've visited Sweden, but never Denmark (though I could see the sandy beaches from the air).

Both Kentuckians and Danes speak a language foreign to me...so maybe I am confused...

Nice pics.

Thanks for the info
