@shannon_deskins: Our recent visit to Elkhorn City, Kentucky, was epic! From the bottom of the valley to the top of the mountain, the views were amazing. We even explored an old mountain cemetery deep in the woods and found someone with great stories to tell. There was so much content that I had to break it into two parts. Here is Part 1...enjoy! #appalachia #cemetery #elkhorncity #History
That's my cousin James Potter you're talking to! My Papaw Kent Bennett was one of the men that helped with the moonshining!! Grew up hearing that story my whole life!! My mommy's family all lived in the Potter Flats, my mamaw was a Potter before she married. LOVE seeing this & hearing it!!!!

My aunts used to walk the beams on Pool Point bridge instead of the walkway! I couldn't imagine that!! Mommy said they lived in a little tar paper house over in the Potter Flats. Richard Potter, the man that donated the land for the Breaks Interstate Park, was my 4th great grandfather!!
