Thank you. Lake Cumberland sounds heavenly. Will you be posting pictures, I hope?

You can also enjoy the lake on anything else that floats, jet ski to an 84 X 16 $ 500,000 two story houseboat with a jet ski ramp on the back. Once you decide what to float on, get ready to explore not an average lake, but the largest impounded lake east of the Mississippi, not an average 20 miles of shore line, but 1255 miles of shore line, not 30 feet, but average depths of 90 feet and spots where your depth sounder won't even detect. Cross wakes? Not a problem, just pull into your own cove. Steep ledges allow the largest of boats to pull right up and tie down for the night with minimal effort. Chain of Lakes or what some of my fellow and fellowett boaters call lake hopping is fun, but at Lake Cumberland you are creek hopping, from Gross Creek and 76 Falls to some 55 water miles to Porter Creek near the Cumberland Parkway, Burnside to Grider Hill, this lake offers so much to explore you can't possibly take it in a single trip, or for that matter, weeks and weeks of trips. The water is crystal clear blue green and dive able. The land rises around the lake in large hills as the foothills of the Smokies lie just to the south.

Kathleen - bad news on he pics. I STILL haven't unboxed the camera...ducking out now, back later. ;-)
