2022 Kentucky "Moonbow" Meet and Greet October 7-9, 2022
Hello All!
I am putting together a Meet and Greet for 2022! Save the date: Friday October 7th through Sunday October 9th, 2022.
We are going to do it at Cumberland Falls, Kentucky! Cumberland falls is a huge waterfall on the Cumberland River in Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky, a mountainous area with a LOT of great roads to ride on.
Cumberland Falls is known for its “Moonbow,” a phenomenon known as a lunar rainbow, which can only be seen in two places in the world, and only one place in the Western hemisphere. There will be a full moon on the weekend of October 7th-9th and a moonbow should be visible (given cooperating weather conditions.)
The best lodging for our group is Falls Creek Cabins and Campground. This campground is five miles from Cumberland Falls (I wanted to get as close as possible because to view the Falls at night we would have to ride on a dark, winding highway through the forest.)
The website for the campground is: Falls Creek Cabins and Campgrounds
I visited Falls Creek Cabins and Campground and they have 20 or so cabins with different amenities. All cabins are heated/air conditioned. I have uploaded a campground map with a chart to best describe the amenities. The Couple’s Cabins have private restrooms, but all others will use the bathhouse which I inspected and found to be very nice.
The campground also has primitive campsites and pull through RV sites (if that is your preference.)
The campground has many different gathering areas with fire pits we can use to socialize depending on where the group wants to gather. There are also covered gathering areas we can shelter in if the weather turns foul (this IS Kentucky, Y’all!)
I was unable to get our group a price break because they expect to be full that weekend as it IS a “premium” Moonbow weekend, and Moonbows draw a crowd, especially in October. There were, however, no reservations for our weekend, yet. I toured all the accommodations, and they are excellent!
Prices will be as follows (I did my best to calculate the prices correctly
Couple Cabins (sleeps up to 4) $199/night (private BR, private bath, private deck)
Covered Wagons (really nice, microwave, refrigerator, bug proof, AC and heat – sleeps up to 6) $199/night (must use bathhouse)
Super Cozy Cabin $149 (really nice, private deck, microwave, refrigerator, bug proof, AC and heat, sleeps up to 6) $149/night (must use bathhouse)
Cozy Cabin $119/night (really nice, microwave, refrigerator, bug proof, AC and heat, sleeps up to 4) $119/night (must use bathhouse)
If you have question, please feel free to call me at (502)593-3004 – David Schroerlucke
I am looking forward to getting together again!

I'll have to think about a place to stay. Anybody have ideas? That HIE is in Corbin, 16 miles away.
Interesting sites in the area;
Cumberland Gap is 72 miles.
Mill Springs Civil War Battlefield (January 19, 1862) is 50 miles.
Sgt. Alvin York's place is just 75 miles.
A few years (or so) ago, a number of us met in Hazard and rode Hell For Certain Road. It's just 87 miles away.
I've been through here before, but not a lot, and not recently. Any thoughts about riding the area?
