KY Hwy 80 East - Russell Springs - Russell County - Kentucky Photo Taken through the Glass of a Moving Vehicle Saturday_26-April-2014 Goose Creek Bridge https://ibb.co/MDDdQt7T" rel="nofollow">  South side of KY80 - Looking South/Upstream 37.107723°N 84.989845°W Elevation 820' Goose Creek defies common sense and has it's beginnings from deep within the Cumberland River watershed, ending up in Green River. According to the WatersGeo.EPA.gov, Goose Creek is only 1.82 JapMeters long; I tend to doubt that; in fact, I just Crow-flied it from point-to-point at 11-American Miles, ignoring the fact that it is at least twice that if not more following it's many meanders and horse-shoe bends. It also says Goose Creek is Navigable; if you started up it in a BirchBark Canoe, you would carry it way more than ride in it. Goose Creek__Origin South side of KY910; East of Pine Top Road 300-yards from Casey County and 3/4-mile from Pulaski County 37.104875° 84.916052° Elevation 1,131' 4.08-miles as the Crow flies from Origin to the KY80 Bridge. Goose Creek__Crosses Russell/Casey County Line Western side of Brock Road 37.140166° 84.997623° Elevation 796' 2.3-miles as the Crow flies from the KY80 Bridge to the County Line US Hwy 127__Goose Creek Bridge at Dunnville 37.199952° 85.004485° Elevation 745' 4.16-miles as the Crow flies from the County Line to the US Hwy 127 Goose Creek Bridge at Dunnville Mouth of Goose Creek at Green River 37.203153° 85.010821° Elevation 720' At this point, Goose Creek is nearly as big as Green River itself. The February-2024 Satellite View at these coordinates shows a lot of receding flood-waters in this area. 0.41-miles as the Crow flies from the US Hwy 127 Goose Creek Bridge to the Mouth of Goose Creek at Green River Add all this up and you get 10.95-miles in four Crow flights with a 411-foot Elevation drop of from 1,131-feet to 720-feet.

KY Hwy 80 West - Windsor - Casey County - Kentucky Photo Taken through the Glass of a Moving Vehicle Saturday_26-April-2014 Roadside Dogwood Trees https://ibb.co/XfD5qBm0" rel="nofollow">  South side of KY80 37.115951°N 84.957380°W Elevation 1,069' The Dogwoods are pretty; but, what grabbed my eye is the gate at lower-right; for whatever reason, it has a Z-Bar brace every foot instead of the usual 4-foot spacing; this gate probably cost three or four times as much as an ordinary one. If there is a reason for it, it is negated by the time the fence reaches that next gate, in the dip to the left, as that gate is a standard 4-foot spacing gate. https://ibb.co/kVmhn9X0" rel="nofollow">

North Flatwoods Road - Nancy - Pulaski County - Kentucky Photo Taken through the Glass of a Moving Vehicle Saturday_26-April-2014 The Hill https://ibb.co/Vcx2TTfY" rel="nofollow">  Can you imagine looking through the windshield of a tri-axle dump-truck weighing some over 100,000 lbs and starting over this hill for the first time in your life, having no idea what lies ahead ? The phrase "Hold a Tight Ass" comes to mind. I made several such trips over this hill loaded and then back up empty; it is quite a ways before you reach the bottom. 37.112796°N 84.882031°W Elevation 1,112'

North Flatwoods Road - Nancy - Pulaski County - Kentucky Saturday_26-April-2014 Mineral Feeder in Dry Branch Hollow https://ibb.co/FbC7sKS0" rel="nofollow">  Beside it is a partially eaten roll of hay. Ever since I can remember, the "Ag Class" and FFA at school has built and sold these wooden cattle mineral feeders to fund their various field trips; all exactly like the very first one ever built, they have sold tens if not hundreds of thousands of them. For every one they have built/sold, there are at least ten farmer-built copycat units. When I was a kid, they also built and sold stout wooden gates and calf creep feeders. Anywhere on school grounds, you could constantly hear no less than thirty hammers driving twenty-penny nails into White Oak planks. 37.110701°N 84.878046°W Elevation 939'

| Thanks for those beautiful scenery pictures. Spring is a really inspiring time. Back when the wife and I could travel more we used to wander off the main roads and see the good stuff too. Beauty is not limited to the huge and expansive landscapes. Brings back memories. |

Google Cedar- Apple rust, for the picture 1st above the last post. Its a strange fungus, affects both cedars, where the spore is released, and Apples, where the spores land to lay waste to Apples. In orchard country, the old time farmer's solution was to eradicate all cedars close by to orchards... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

There are more Flood Gates on that Barge than came out of that hole; I don't know why; maybe spares.

Saturday_22-August-2026 As Seen from Green River Dam Boat Ramp Looking Downstream 1977 KY Hwy 55 Green River Bridge https://ibb.co/B2wg68NG" rel="nofollow">  KY Hwy 55 Mile #2.6(31) Green River Mile #305.1 https://ibb.co/5gvTyrqQ" rel="nofollow">  As close as I can find, this bridge was built about 1977\78; I know for fact that in early spring of 1978 old KY55 crossed back and forth over the new construction numerous times between Columbia and Campbellsville. The creation of this bridge was a huge improvement over the treacherous hill and dead-man's curve on the South end of the Tebb's Bend one-lane Iron Bridge next downstream from here. https://ibb.co/6c0KCLhR" rel="nofollow">  Campbellsville - Taylor County - Kentucky 37°14'29.50" North Parallel - 85°20'38.57" West Meridian 656' Above Sea Level
