Here are some photos that I took yesterday.....

This is an old boat that had apparently sunk long ago.

Burnside Island has taken a beating, but I haven't took any photos there yet.

Pretty neat. That old boat could be 4 years old or 40. Be interesting to look up the registration number.

Auk thought that the boat was old because the numbers were made out of metal....

I saw where someone found a bunch of old coffins on fisnin.com. Looks pretty freaky.

You found my lost boat...:D... Well maybe not... but it might be Noah's ark... Interesting to see what has laid under the waters surface over these years and now with the drawdown it shows back up.

They've been finding old cemeteries under Cumberland for years. Lots of old family plots got forgotten and the Corps couldn't find them all. When the new lake kills all the vegetation and erodes to soil, the next drawdown exposes headstones and coffins and bones.

You think they will use this time to repair some ramps?

Are people afraid to launch off of the bank on Cumberland?

We do that all of the time on KY and Barkley when they're at winter pool because a lot of the ramps are either too shallow to launch from or completely out of the water.

Sloping gravel or even dry dirt works just as well as that asphalt does.

Buckeyes can't drive on gravel... The locals can pretty much launch a boat anywhere but you have to make room for the yankes.

Oh yeah.

I forgot about the northern invasion. We don't have to worry about them a whole lot before the water comes up enough to make the ramps useable.

They're going to have a rude awakening over this way if they decide to shift west this year. I see a whole lot of boat repair going on after they've been used to running around in 80'+ of water. :D

We actually seen two boats being launched off of the dry dirt yesterday at Twyford's Point.... seemed to work just fine.

You can sure bet a lot of die hard fishermen are plottin down everything like the boat and foundation of that house on their maps. I know I sure would, great knowledge for when they refill the lake.....:)
