Better Late Than Never

Our traveling life, in words and pictures

Day: June 14, 2020

A creek by any other name…

Kentucky has a lot of alternate words for “creek”, just as Eskimos do for snow. It’s kind of fascinating. Here are the common ones I can recall:

  • Creek
  • Branch
  • Lick
  • Fork
  • Run
  • Crick
  • Kill
  • Brook
  • Trace
  • Ford
  • Burn (definitely inherited this one from the Scots)
