Barren River Lake State Park - Glasgow, KY

Kentucky Dam

It’s a short day, but the clouds are threatening...they have been for days.  There has been no place to fly fish on the western part of the state so it’s time to improvise.  We start with a short walk across the TVA hydroelectric dam.  At the power plant, there is a visitor’s center, manned by a husband and wife team.  He worked for TVA for thirty years, in the personnel department (way before it became Human Resources!). We know way more about TVA then before.  By lunch time, we were in Fairfield, KY.  The birthplace of Jefferson Davis.  In his honor, the daughters of the Confederacy built  a 351ft obelisk (the tallest

concrete obelisk, and the fourth tallest of all obelisks). We know way more about Jefferson Davis than before.  By late in the afternoon, we decided to check out the Corvette Museum, where several cars were sucked into a sinkhole.  We learned way more about Corvettes than we knew before.  We finally made it to Barren River Lake State Park.

For our regional meal, we had a huge plate of Kentucky Cheese and Crackers, Dinner was a large plate of Pork Chops, with dessert a large bowl of fruit cobbler and ice cream.  Nothing was really unique, but the portions were huge!
