Set Sail for Anchorage: A series exploring Anchorage, KY

               Store front Anchorage, KY Yesterday I took a stroll through Anchorage, KY. The sun was shining, temps were in the lower 80’s, and a slight breeze made for the perfect day. I walked past the post office, to the church while admiring the cobblestone and brick paved sidewalks, I stopped to read the names and graduation dates of city members printed on the brick pavers surrounding a city bench.

                I walked on to the award winning Anchorage School. I took the time to read each species of tree that sprinkled the lush front lawn of the school, which provided ample shade. A short train passed by, and as I watch it, my eyesAnchorage School were drawn to the large clock and the emblem of the city sitting peacefully behind it; an anchor.   From there I walked down to the start of the Anchorage Trail, a 1.2 mile path that takes you to E.P Tom Sawyer Park.

Sitting on one of the many benches along the way, I took a moment to just listen.  The symphony of bird calls made for a serenade so peaceful that I could have fallen asleep. Willow Lake is serene and mesmerizing. The water sparkles in the sunlight reflecting the trees and a few stunning homes that border it.
