Kentucky Lake

Actually we are parked in Tennessee at the Little Eagle RV Park.  They have a nice little spot on a branch of Kentucky Lake complete with a private boat ramp, and adjacent to Paris Landing State Park.  We made a sprint from northeast Texas (Atlanta, TX, waypoint "G" on our map) across Arkansas on into Tennessee because we didn't like the weather patterns going on in that area.  We had 50 mph wind gusts, mainly off our tail thank goodness, going across Arkansas.  The night we arrived at the lake there were tornadoes in Arkansas.  Glad we decided to move right along this time.

You can see the purple triangle identifying Tornadic Action in southeast Arkansas.
A few pics around Little Eagle.  The weather is a bit better this far north, but there is a good breeze and temperatures are low in the 40's and high in the 60's, which is a little cooler than what we have been in recently.
 
 
 
  
There is our gear on site #52.  You can just see the lake in front of Pepé.  Percy the Perception Prescador 10.0 sit on top kayak will make her maiden voyage here.  Percy rode well up top, even with the strong winds in Arkansas.  Seems like we have a viable attachment system.... time to get kayak #2 Gari....
Steve chatting up the Camp Host Miss Barbara and a few neighbors.
The fishing/observation pier at the back of the Park.
Shoreline at the back of the Park.
A little wildlife near the Park... there's Gari
A Pod of four white Pelicans.  Only 3 Pelicans made this frame.
Lots of turtles.  This fella had his eye on us.
Back shoreline.
Some of the Lake
Finally, the long awaited maiden voyage of Percy.  Will Steve get dumped?  First he will have to get her in the water to know for sure...
Carefully he's off... 
Hey this isn't too bad, not as stable as the Old Town canoe, but he can still paddle circles around a Canadian Goose; only problem is which one is the goose?
