Twisted Gun is more of a professional golf course. It's beautifully laid out on top of the…read moremountain, which was once a strip mine but was reclaimed. It has the type of fairways that you only see on pro tour courses. The greens are huge and normally fast. Plenty of hazards like sand traps and water. The only thing missing are trees. The fairways are long so anyone expecting a good score better be able to hit the long ball. The course is well maintained. Has a driving range as well as a practice green. It's an easy course to follow as there are hard top cart paths that lead to the next hole like a links course. Beautiful scenery with lots of wildlife to be seen. It has one restroom on each 9 holes made from a train caboose which adds a nice touch. The main thing to avoid are missing the fairways as the roughs are small and hitting past the rough is a lost ball. The tall grasses past the fairways make finding a ball almost impossible. The people running the club house are super friendly. I guess the only down side to playing this course is getting to it, lol. You have to drive on some very narrow roads that have sharp curves that wind all the way back to the top where the golf course is located. Still this is my favorite course of any others within 50 miles of my location. If you love golf as much as I do you owe it to yourself to go try Twisted Gun at least once. Thanks!

They took an old 'mountain top mine' and made it into a Links style golf course. The layout is well put together. In spots the course is wide open but there are areas that because of the local snakes they advise you don't go looking for you ball. The club house is okay for the location of the course. You actually drive by mining trucks to get to the top where the course is located. This course is a great use of some land that otherwise would have not been used. 'A gem amongst all the coal!'

The last few years, we have been coming here to compete against area teams, and it is always worth the drive. The bath rooms are clean, and the folks are so supportive of the young bowlers.

It is a great community resource, and I strongly encourage everyone to support this business.

We set out for the Auxier Ridge Trail at Natural Bridge State Park, which we have repeatedly done…read morefor the last twenty years. Our goal was to hike, not necessarily to see Natural Bridge. When we arrived, it was packed, meaning zero parking, and we saw groups of twenty plus, with no social distancing and no masks. I had seen a vlog about a newly created trail from 2014 called Dawkins Line Rail Trail (DLRT). It is a trail built in 2013 after RJ Corman decided to close the railroad line in 2004. So, we decided to give it a try; it was another 40 miles east of the Natural Bridge exit. The trail park is located in a small Kentucky mountain town; the people were friendly, waved, and asked us if we were doing okay. Since the wife is hearing, she struck up a conversation with several locals as we walked the trail. Still, it had far fewer people, and it was an unknown for us. Also, when we arrived at the park, I'll admit that parking was hard to figure out, but a path runs parallel for vehicles. So, you'll follow it to the parking lot. The parking lot has four spaces for handicap parking too. The trail has plenty of wooden bridges, a tunnel, a small waterfall, and the entire path is made of caliche, which is a thin mineral deposit of gravel, sand, and nitrates. The DLRT is an excellent place for observing birds, as we saw several yellow finches. So, if you get tired of the same trails, give the DLRT a try the next time. Honestly, I cannot imagine the scenery during the fall months, when we plan on returning.

Because of weather and 2 hills, I would say give it a second thought if you want to PR. I did meet several people who it was their first marathon. I'm not sure what I would recommend for a first. The aid stations are excellent. The volunteers are plentiful. It's a beautiful, historic marathon, with beautiful views. It does require some more logistical planning you might not have to do for a a bigger race, but it's worthwhile. Example: I flew into West Virginia but my hotel was in Kentucky, so this was the first time I had to worry about a car rental. Everything is easy to navigate though. Everyone is friendly and accommodating. They will gladly help if you ask. The course is well marked. It's also a good race if you're a slower runner --they really care about the back of the pack runners! The medal is big and not my favorite, but it is one of my favorite race shirts. They also include a generous pasta dinner the night before. Definitely recommend this race!

Just completed the 2013 Hatfield-McCoy marathon on Saturday, 06/08/2013. This was state #36 on my…read morepersonal quest to run 50 states from Hawaii. With 14 more left to go, I can see the end in sight. Just need to plug away and everything will be alright. The Hatfield-McCoy marathon was named after the bloody feud that sparred on for years in the rugged, rural Kentucky / West Virginia border before ending almost peacefully in the late 1880's. I hadn't planned on running this one till my final year of 50 states, but as luck will have it, I did secure a wonderful flight itinerary along with a lovely flight price, so I booked that flight almost immediately. Staying with friends at the Holiday Inn Express in Pikeville, KY, it was the making of an epic weekend adventure that I will never forget. The Hatfield-McCoy marathon started on the Kentucky side and finishes up on the West Virginia side, just right over state lines in a town called Williamson. For 50 States Marathon Club rules, you can pick either state for the race to count, but not both. For me, since I ran Kentucky Derby marathon 2 months ago for KY, for sure that I will be counting this race for WV. This race is very small, but popular especially due to the theme of the race. The course weaves through rural Kentucky and West Virginia, crossing over state lines many times, but you would not know where at times, since there was no signage to let you know so. It didn't feel like it was a out and back course, but a point to point with a few u turns and a couple of loops to keep you on your feet. The start was near Belfry High School on the Kentucky side at the Food City, which is a local grocery store. All us marathoners gathered at the parking lot and had a fun time. At least 1/2 of the race field belong to the Marathon Maniacs, an elite marathon group that encourages marathoners to run marathons close together while having fun at the same time. Most of the course was on private residential road, which was good. Although a lot of these residential roads were open to traffic, we didn't have much trouble running 26.2 miles. There was a few cars that came real close to me, so I had to jump back and avoid them before they hit me. But we were in rural Kentucky, so they were fortunately far and few between. The course weaved through key places where the Hatfield-McCoy feud had taken place, which was great for the tourists like me. Thankful that there was no course time limit, so I took my time and immersed myself in the history and the atmosphere where all this feuding took place over a century ago. The course was very challenging and thankful for the aid stations with wonderful volunteers. Plenty of course support, more than what you would normally find. One big hill at mile 7, then rolling hills thereafter. The weather that morning was a cool misty 62 degrees till mile 12, which was awesome. It kept my mind off of things during the early miles. Then the sun came out and it was a challenge their after. The course ran through a golf course at mile 18 and through a rickety bridge that swayed when you walked on it, so that was harrowing for me when it did swing and I just froze up. Thankfully, I got across somehow and continued onward. Upon crossing the finish line, I got my finisher's medal and a photo with actors who played Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield and Ran'l McCoy, both with replica guns and the time period clothing. The works! It was a priceless trip that I wouldn't trade in for the world. We also got a mason jar with the Hatfield-McCoy marathon logo on it. They say that people drink liquor in glass jars back in the day - including illegal moonshine. I've been told that they do that till this day too. Guess traditions don't die, they just live on. There was finish line food, but my friends and I just left without staying too long, since we needed to get back to Indianapolis, IN as quickly as we could, while dropping me and another friend in Cincinatti, OH that day. I would definitely recommend this epic road race to anyone who loves to run marathons. They have a half marathon event too. New for this year is the 1st and 2nd half marathon, where you run the first half marathon, get a finish time, rest for a little bit, and race the 2nd half marathon and get a finish time for that too. Perfect for those who are running half marathons in 50 States, which is probably what I may do later in life. Loving the travel, the airfares and travel costs - not so much. Thankful as always that I have the physical and financial means to do this. To achieve a great goal is awesome, but the sacrifices are huge. It all balances out somehow in the end. #RunMore A+ #Yelp marathons!!
