Do you remember the musical Brigadoon about the enchanted Scottish village? In the story, when intrusions from the "real world" threaten to destroy the village, one of the characters laments, "Why do people have to lose things to find out what they really mean?"

That could easily have happened to Lost Cove, a very real hollow that is tucked into the Cumberland Plateau in Franklin County. It has been subjected to pressures brought on by development and population sprawl that have negatively impacted the entire plateau. But like Brigadoon, Lost Cove has
been saved.

Thanks for posting this!
This is a beautiful area and geologically interesting.
Didn't know that history of it.

If you haven't been to the Sewanee area, and you like the outdoors, do yourself a favor and go. There's a lot of great day hikes, and the natural bridges there are a lot closer than the ones in Utah!
