It's a opened county Rd needs to be opened back up . No one was ever been allowed to close it . It is beautiful down rattlesnake rd I've lived here for over 39 years . The house you talked about that all the trash and broken down cars and trucks is my mother in law's house she is 80 has lived her most of her life . I live just right off rattlesnake rd on Harry Tucker Rd . I'm the only one on this Rd .

Some great folks live out there.

Now I am curious about Hurricane Hill Road! :D I appreciate your visits here, and I hope your blog goes well.Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-64004697216461401432012-05-29T22:28:02.738-05:002012-05-29T22:28:02.738-05:00Hi there, Just wanted to leave you a little note a...Hi there, Just wanted to leave you a little note and say thanks for quoting my little article from the Todd County Family History book. Robert Earl Powell is my father, and I personally lived on Rattlesnake Road for a few years. While there are plenty of rattlesnakes out there, there are no more there than on in any other area in that end of the county. I do remember well that huge rattlesnake my daddy killed, though. He killed it on Hurricane Hill Road, and it was actually on the front page of the Kentucky New Era, Daddy holding it. He still has the picture somewhere. Also, I thought you might be interested in knowing that the ford crossing on the other side, the Flat Rock Road that you mentioned in the other post, is known locally as "Booty Creek." I'm not sure why or where it got that name, but many of the locals take their kids wading in the always cold water of Booty Creek in the summer. I took my grandson there last summer myself. So, if you're ever in the mood for a little wading, go back down to Booty Creek on Flat Rock Road, across on the other side of the bridge from Ovil Road, roll up your pants, kick off your shoes (or better yet, wear flip-flops, and go wading. Be prepared for the shock of the COLD water. Oh, and you can drive through it on that side just as easily as you did on Rattlesnake Road. I follow your posts quite frequently and admire that you've documented the local history. Thank you.

But if it were a true wilderness, it probably wouldn't have a road at all!Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-30662601715757272382012-02-07T14:35:11.764-06:002012-02-07T14:35:11.764-06:00Wow!

You never know what you're going to see!<br /><br />I was glad I didn't have to back my car up that little road from the ford and try to find a wide spot to turn around. That would have been the only alternative if I had decided not to cross the creek!Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-75944581693072014652010-07-27T09:21:49.363-05:002010-07-27T09:21:49.363-05:00You are far braver than I....just reading that you...You are far braver than I....just reading that you got out of your car on that road gave me the heebie jeebies. The word Rattlesnake would have been enough for me to not go down that road, and then I would have missed the adventure. I love reading your blog because I know it will always lead to somewhere I have never been before. Thank you for the adventure. :)Stitchy Mc Floss https://www.blogger.com/profile/00562041622656969121noreply@blogger.com
