MMMMarcia,
Though the mountains have become less formidable by the time they reach KY, they can be steep with the possibility of falling or slipping and plunging down the side into a boulder filled gorge. One must choose one's way carefully, especially off trail. The strenuous effort is well rewarded when sitting under a glorious rock shelter or beside a beautiful creek. How much easier it is for men who seem so much better adapted to hiking thru the wilderness. Sometimes a woman must make her own way according to her abilities.
BTW, thanks for the good wishes. (Also Jo, who may not have gotten my e-mail.)
