Then I take back the paintball...
Re: Rest Day Activities
A new paintball place is being built in Irvine. Not sure when it will be open...
I don't have haters, I have fans in denial.

Get a bunch of prescription Oxycontin pills, boil them down into a purified concentrate, and inject into the antecubital vein. Keep some Naloxone nearby just in case.

keeneland doesn't run until october... come one, kyle, you should know that!! there is another race track in lexington, red mile, and they are running races there this time of year... (keeneland is jockey riding on the horse, red mile is jockey driving a cart behind the horse)... still fun to go and gamble a little here or there and watch some races... mammoth cave NP is worth a visit, i'd recommend the wild cave tour, but that's gonna be rougly 4 hours from miguel's... i agree with the first answer to your question, though, go volunteer some time for the webers or for the rrgcc... or, go find a hiking the rrg guidebook, and go see some of the arches, they are pretty rad to see...kafish2 wrote:There are plenty of places to hike and trail run of course.

However, I would recommend for some real KY flavor to try some of the bourbon tours and maybe checking out keeneland racetrack in lexington (probably one of the best sight-seeing opportunities in KY).

Bowling at Lee Co Rec Center. I hear the middle lane is the best.

Lexington:
Sat/Sun brunch at Alfalfa http://www.alfalfarestaurant.com/
Cheap movie at the Kentucky Theatre and smuggle in some beer (or buy it inside...only theatre I know that serves beer!) http://www.kentuckytheater.com/
Get a fun Starbuck's drink and just drive some scenic biways outside of Lexington, they are gorgeous and enjoyable for at least a few hours. There's a castle out Versailles Rd worth driving by (it's a B&B now): http://www.go-kentucky.com/Lexington/Scenic-Drives/
Just north of Lex in Paris is Clairborne Farm. They have free tours and see a multi-million dollar beautiful horse farm (make an appointment and tip the groomers): http://www.claibornefarm.com/contact/tour-info.shtml
Cumberland Falls (2.5 hours from the gorge) - I've never been but want to go and see the moonbow. I think it's the only place left in the world where this phenomenon takes place: http://www.visitcumberlandfalls.com/

Does this mean it is not open for viewing? My favorite times to go to Keeneland where when it was relatively empty and no races were going on. Especially if interested in shooting photos.
Re: Rest Day Activities
oh, right on... yea, i think it's still open for viewing even when they aren't running races. i just figured you meant open for races, which since it's so close to october i guess it was still a good suggestion. also, i think they do sales during the month of september, and the public can go to the sales. i've never been, but i hear it's pretty cool to go when they are selling horses.
Re: Rest Day Activities
you can get into keeneland almost any day.
Positive vibes brah...positive vibes.
