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">
