Kentucky Lake / Hyw 232

[javashot1]

I took advantage of great December weather yesterday - and left on a rambling "I wonder were that road goes?" ride.  Ended up at Land Between the Lakes National Park on Kentucky Lake in Middle Tennessee.
 
I had heard the Hwy 232 south was a good ride so I thought I'd try it.  It's about 30 miles of twisty switchbacks and has nice elevation changes (for around here anyway).  Great ride that I will repeat for sure.  
 
At the end of the highway I'd planned to turn east but I notice a sign for a ferry crossing. I didn't know one existed there so I went west a few miles to investigate.  It's called the Dancyville Ferry and it was in operation.  So for the steep price of $1.00 the bike and I got a trip across the lake.
 

 
 

 
 
 
The boat caption explained the history of the area a bit.  The lake was created when the TVA damned the Tennessee River to generate hydroelectric power.  There was a town here called Dancyville that was taken by eminent domain and flooded creating the lake.  It was a vibrant railroad town that's now at the bottom of the lake.  The only visual sign of the town is the old Railroad Granary.  The picture shows only the top 2 floors above water.  It was actually a 7 story building built in the 1920's. 
 

 
 
 
The captains hand really liked the FJ.  He mostly sees Harley's and has taken as many as 60 across at one time.
 
It was a great 300 mile tirp!

I don't know what to do about pics posting upside down...  It's an iPad issue because when I'm at work on my PC they are upside down - when viewing on my iPad they are right side up. I'm on the iPad most of the time for posting and viewing.  I guess Apple thinks upside down.  Sorry.
