First, we drove to Stanton for some groceries. The drive along Compton Road revealed a lot about the folks living out in the country here ... it's pretty hard living.
Then we went to Natural Bridge State Resort Park and took the Skylift (chair lift) to see the Natural Bridge. The ride was exhilarating. The walk from the lift to the "bridge" offered many views of the massive formation. We were grateful for having round-trip lift tickets.

We ended our exploration by driving the Red River Gorge Scenic Byway. Unlike last night, we had sunlight and cameras in-hand.
 |
| Nada Tunnel |
 |
| Single lane, 900' |
 |
| The byway snakes through the forest. |
 |
| Yep, There is a Red River. |
We stopped at Subway for dinner on the way back to the campground. It was an easy way to escape from grilling on a hot, sticky evening.
Clouds appeared in the late-afternoon. We may get some rain tonight.
