Destination...Land Between the Lakes

1st stop Exit 31 RV Park (The Gravel Pit)
Great for a pull thru spot but not what we wanted


Bikes are falling off





We went exploring and found a great place Hillman Ferry Campground.

Elk and Bison Range but the elk were no where to be seen



"The Confluence" The Mighty Mississippi and the Ornry Ohio merge together



Olmstead Lock and Dam Look what STEVEN did!



New camping friends Robert & Gayle take us on their pontoon boat for the day.
We saw Kentucky, Barkley Lake and Eddyville Prison.












Our first bike trip was 13 miles. We rode to an old railroad trestle and through a tunnel. I had to stop and walk part way through it. I now understand the meaning of tunnel vision, I felt like I was going to hit the walls when I couldn't see the sides because of the dark.


Sunset over Kentucky Lake, ending a great trip.

  1. I still think you ought to try out Patty's Settlement for dinner some time when you are down there . . .

  2. That second campground sure does look nicer :) Glad you could just boat by Eddyville & you didn't have to stop and stay awhile!
