Leaving Kentucky

So, the time has finally come. I am leaving Red River Gorge, moving on to Tennessee and a new adventure. We had a Christmas party here at the hostel on Saturday night and then those of us remaining at Miguels (all 3 of us) were invited to Miguel's home for a family supper. It was nice to spend some time with the Ventura's outside of the shop. Their house is beautiful, constructed entirely by Miguel and his wife.
Wrapping up loose ends and packing up today, going climbing for the last time this afternoon, despite the freezing cold, it's below 0 here today, but sunny.
It's wierd being at Miguel's and having no one else there. It's somewhat peaceful and a nice way to end the season. Especially since I've been able to sleep at the hostel, so i've managed to stay warm.
Tomorrow we head to t-wall to do some gear/trad climbing, a first for me, then on to Obed.
Kentucky has been really good to me and I look forward to coming back here in the spring, but it's time to move on.
