October 4 Cumberland River to Kentucky Lakes

The fog was so dense in the morning, we could not get underway until after 10 am.  Luckily, we only had about 33 miles to complete this passage of the loop.  After the large working rivers of the Mississippi and the Ohio, the Cumberland river seemed like a small stream (first pic).  It was actually very scenic and we encountered only one tow barge along the way.  At the end of the day, we arrived at the Barkley Lock and dam (next pic).   This is huge lock and it took us up about 60 feet and put on the lake where we docked at the Green Turtle Bay marina with some other looper boats who have been here for about a week.
