Adair was once a thriving community complete with a school and store. Getting in and out of the place was via the BC&G RR. Today the name remains and that's about it except for the Adair Cemetery. The spot was mentioned during the July 13th BDA meeting. Maybe most famous is the wet weather water fall there. The above pic is the view from atop the waterfall looking down.
Adair is located around 6 miles up the tracks from Dundon. It currently serves as the turn around spot for the pedal car rides. To get there, you either ride the rails, hoof it, or come down Cherokee Drive if you have a stout four wheel drive vehicle. Stout is the key word.
With lots of shade and a picnic table, it serves riders well as a break on the tourism ride.
Situated on the banks of Buffalo Creek, there's a couple long established camping spots which are well kept and clean.
There was a time when Buffalo Creek ran black from mine waste.
That ain't the case today. It's beautiful!
Adair Cemetery is one of the best groomed grave yards in the county
Grave marker birth dates go back to 1812 and before
