With the problems that the site is having with photos, I’ve waited to add this one (if you’re having trouble, make the photo small sized). That’s the shore of Lake Barkley/Cumberland River at the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. When I went across the first lake (Kentucky Lake/Tennessee River) I noticed a pedestrian/bicycle path on the bridge. After toodling through the recreation area, I stopped after going over the second lake and walked the pedestrian path out about a third of the way over the bridge. That was a NICE walk and even nicer views. While on the way home I stopped at a new-to-me state park, Pennyrile Forest. Its main feature is Pennyrile Lake and a large beach for public swimming. The forest was cool (as in, the external temperature reading on my car dropped about six degrees F) as well. Where will I go next? You all know that I have no clue. However, I took the major step toward the next trip today: I had the oil changed and the car serviced. The technician said that the car is in great shape everywhere. So, until the next one…thanks for riding along!! The photo is the rocky edge of Lake Barkley at the Land Between the Lakes.

@FourWalls I have travelled quite a bit, starting first part of India and then Singapore our first holiday in a foreign country. . Until my accident in the year 2006 there were other places I toured - US, Canada, Nepal, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. So wanted to visit Alaska but that did not happen.

@allknowing — what a traveler! I’ve only been outside of the U.S. at the borders (once in Mexico when I was seven, and twice in Canada: Windsor, across from Detroit, and Niagara Falls). I haven’t made it to Alaska yet, either.

There was someone on the river bank by the parking lot fishing. The Eagles referred to it as a “peaceful easy feeling.”

You bet they are! This was a perfect time, too, because by this weekend they're going to be packed because of the vacation season, the heat, and the holidays.

Lakes always make for lovely scenery! I'm glad you have a reliable car. Keeping it in good shape with regular service pays off!

I agree on both parts. I love sitting by the water; and nothing will extend a car’s life like simple maintenance (especially the oil change).

Thank you! It's wonderful to see scenery and historic places, and just "get away" sometimes.
