RED RIVER GORGE, KENTUCKY!
(This is part 1)
I took a week long trip south to the Republic of Trumpistan, camping under the stars and climbing at The Red, and trying to not upset the locals who wore trucker hats, suspenders, and plaid; drove around in coal-rolling pickup trucks; and were generally missing teeth.
Red River Gorge is a super popular destination for climbers offering amazing sandstone cliffs shaped by running rivers in the gorge and pocketed by wind and erosion. I stayed at the legendary
Miguel's Pizza (link to article), a climbers-only establishment offering campgrounds in the field, a gear shop and delicious pizza with dozens of unique toppings to choose from, still hand-made by Miguel Ventura himself. This guy bought a large piece of land, built a wood shack and moved his family into it, slowly expanded it and somehow turned it into a climber's mecca.
We arrived at Miguel's at night after a 12-hour journey. We asked where to pitch our tent, the guy in the shop said, "Anywhere". It was pitch black outside and the field was dotted with tents, so we found a clear spot and moved in. Not able to see anything else, I pointed my camera skyward.
