My little piece of Heaven on earth
« on: April 25, 2007, 08:49:40 AM »
looking down stream, I own the left side

looking upstream

wading is hit and miss down here, got to be brave enough to dance with the copperheads and (rattlesnakes which I've yet to see in 7 years). I'm walking up the river to see if I can entice a Smallie with a Streamer ;) Maybe I will have a fish story to tell.

That's a nice beach you've got, how far down from the Dam is it?
Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.

But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.

She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.

She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.

Beautiful spot. You're a lucky man!

I've always wanted to live on a stream...almost got my wish when we moved back here...found 5 acres on the South Harpeth that was just simply beautiful.....had a low spot that would have been purrrfect for diverting a little river water into to make my own little river fed pond in the back yard behind the deck.....couldn't sell the wifey on it though with little kids at the time...too far from anything else for her taste....

Mike, we are 25 1/2 river miles below the dam.

BandDad, I was raised in the country outside of Metro Lynchburg, lived for 21 years a mile from the lake behind the high school. I helped open a plant in Fayetteville and was working from before daylight to after dark, got off early one day and took some of my overtime and went and purchased a 15'4" Gheenoe, took it to the lake (one) whole time, told my wife I was going to sell it, because I will never get to use it, and I did, Guess what?, in less than a year I had sold the Lynchburg homestead and purchased 20 acres on the river. Build a log home and the rest is history as they say. Now work 3 long days but have 4 off a week to piddle and fish ;)

We can't see a light at night. closest neighbor are coyotes and otters. A bless man indeed.
