We had bouts of scattered rain today. Kentucky is beautiful in the spring with diverse shakes of green, bright blue skies, the brown of freshly plowed fields and the intriguing mixtures of black storm clouds and fluffy white clouds. The weather changes from minute to minute. I particular love stormy skies. Driving on the double A highway from Maysville Ky, the sky started clouding up and I snapped these pictures.
This picture was taken from the wooden bridge that crosses the creek onto our property.
While going to Cave Run Lake in Morehead Ky. the other day, I discovered this abandon house covered in vines and had to get a picture. Old houses, and places, especially abandoned old houses and places, have an particular ambiance, a unique atmosphere, that makes them individual and sometimes sinister.
If you are in the area, eat at Pop's Southern Style BBQ. The food is excellent, reasonably priced, and the servings are huge. As you can see from the picture, they smoke their own meat and according to our waitress, they never freeze anything so everything is fresh. The meat takes a long time to process as it is slow cook, so sometimes they are out of a particular item. It doesn't matter though, just pick something else from the menu as all their food is good. The burgers are real burgers, not a frozen, processed burger and yummy.
We visited Cave Run Lake in Morehead, Ky. and took pictures around the lake. According to the US Department of Agriculture the lake is part of the Danial Boone National Forest and is 8,270 acres providing areas for camping, swimming, boating, fishing, hunting and trails for hiking and horseback riding. There are 12 ramps for boat launching and some of the campsites have RV hookups.
Here is a picture of the dam.
The dam has an overflow and the water looks like churning milk.
Snapped these pictures yesterday of Dayton Power and Light on the Ohio River. I was on the Maysville Ky side of the river. The smoke from these smokestacks can be seen for miles.
