Briefly about
the general area: The panoramas at Obed Wild & Scenic River will blow your mind, and there are plenty of folks from Wartburg here. So many cool things in the Cumberland Plateau Mountains, just astonishing. A visit to
Frozen Head State Park when you're here at Crooked Fork Creek is never a bad idea. Crooked Fork Creek sees pretty high levels of rain. Most of the rain falls through March, and October meanwhile is the driest month.
