We made another day trip to historic Stearns, Kentucky and the Big South Fork National Recreation area. The Stearns Coal & Lumber Company operated mines in McCreary County until the 1960s. Now, the area is a popular destination for travelers. Tourists can visit a reconstructed coal camp, hear the voices of those who lived there, and view museum exhibits that teach, about the coal itself and of the people living in its dust. We found the people to be very friendly and accomodating. The weather was almost perfect. We enjoyed the area and will most likely return soon. If you have a chance to visit, the train ride to the Blue Heron Coal Co. is a must. For best viewing, click on 1080i here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGkBr809PHQ
