TWO TREE PASS

This is out at the fairgrounds, up a little rise northwest of the Merchant's Building. I gave it this name when I would take my dogs there for outings; I didn't see it as a pass while walking with them on the dirt roadways that wind through the trees. However, when our cocker spaniel, Little Ann, to not get into the car when it was time to leave, I followed her with it as she kept scampering "just a little farther" ahead.

Sometimes she would come back to the car and look at me through the door I was holding open. It was a stare-off - a stand-off, well she was standing, I was sitting. Actually, sometimes was the wrong word to use in the last sentence. She did this all the time, tormenting us to the point of absolute frustration.

The first time she led me up this way in the car, I looked through the windshield at the two trees hugging the tiny intersection and thought, "Turn or squeeze between.?" The wise thing might have been to turn, but it was tempting to try it . . . and I did.


As the car eased along I knew what this spot had to be called: Two Tree Pass. I don't know if anyone else calls it that. I really doubt that anyone at the Bluegrass Festival says, "Hey, come and play with us - we parked by Two Tree Pass.

Maybe I should put a small sign there . . .
