BEAUTIFUL LAKE CUMBERLAND

We finally made it to the lake! We have made the plans all summer and here it is two weeks before school starts and we finally made it. It was worth the wait. There have been some pretty upset people since last year when the decision was made to lower the water level to fix the dam. Now in my opinion if you have a problem that need fixing, you need to take care of it no matter what the cost. It's not like there aren't any other bodies of water to go to. So with all the drama I was anxious to see what all the talk was about.

When we arrived we brought the rain with us. For hours it poured! It was in the evening and with the much needed rain, that was OK. Joe set out for fishing at 5 am and didn't return until noon. He was very happy, but didn't bring back any fish. We will never know the real story but he said they caught a few big ones! We got packed up and headed out for a day of fun. The only problem was that there was little sunshine. But we came to get on the water and that is what we were going to do. We had a mission, Joe had found out about a place that was known for Indian artifacts and with a map we were determined to find it. We were successful but used a whole tank of gas. The scenery was beautiful! We saw a big turtle, lots of jumping fish the duck and goat that are in the pictures. The view is just down the road from my friends cabin. All of the rock that you see under the tree line is usually under water. The out crop that is pictured was FULL of crystal geodes that were embedded in the rock, beautiful!! Some thing I had never seen before.
