My dad grew up in the mountains of Kentucky in the early 1900’s. He said the trails he had to follow to the store or schools had perches with handholds on large rocks for them to climb to escape wolves. Said he spent a night on one once. Ever hear of Saldee? Talk about a small town - farms and a general store/post office. All perched on the side of the mountains.
Oh wow. O.o I don’t imagine it’s like that now. Or is it?
