We left Green Turtle Bay in Grand Rivers KY this morning at about 8am. No pump out or gas needed. We are exhausted. We never sat down and rested once this entire week at Green Turtle Bay. Kermit says he is shocked we were in one place for an entire week and never sat down. It was go, go, go the entire time. Yesterday we both went to the gym for the first time just to say we used the gym. How else to rationalize not using all the facilities when we were here a week? I took a bike ride just to justify taking the bikes down off the boat.
Yesterday the group we are traveling with went to breakfast and planned the next leg of the journey. Jim of Jim's Joy spent most of the previous day planning possible routes. We all took notes. This is the schedule for the next week or so of travel down the Tennessee River:
Day 1 Wed 10/10: 45 miles through Lake Kentucky to Paris Landing State Park at Mile 66
Day 2 Thurs 10/11: Pebble Island at Mile 96.1
Day 3 Fri 10/11: 60 miles to Clifton TN at Mile 158
Day 4-5 and maybe 6: to Grand Harbor at Mile 215 - stop to see Shiloh Battleground
Day 6 or 7: to Florence TN Mile 256
Day 7 or 8: Joe Wheeler State Park at Mile 277, the site of the AGLPA rendezvous. We plan to be at Joe Wheeler on 10/18.
Right now we are traveling through Kentucky Lake thinking fondly of a great vacation we had here about 17 years ago with the Vellucci and Lipka families. It is really pretty here. Nice water, lots of trees. Leaves haven't changed yet so we have something to look forward to!
We arrived at Paris Landing State Park at about 1:30pm. It was a perfect, clear, blue day. Just spectacular. Rusty went for a long walk and swim. He sort of looks like an alligator here, doesn't he? Swimming really helps his hips. He has fully recovered from getting rolled by that puppy a few days ago, thank goodness. I was very worried but he is his old self again!!
Houseboats everywhere in this marina. We have 8 boats in these perfect 70 foot docks, big enough to hold these houseboats that look almost like houses on pontoons.
We grilled out. Rusty had a blast vacuuming the floor!!
Trees surround this lovely water bowl. The trees are just barely starting to change. I think it will be full color when we get to Joe Wheeler State Park in Alabama/TN next week.
Kentucky Lake and Barkley Lake were created by flooding rivers. It makes for really pretty cliffs rising directly above the water. Evidently there are parts of the lake where the towns are right below the lake water when the water levels are low like they are now. We didn't see anything but that is what we were told!!
