Man, I didn't know it was on!I would have loved to have seen it. Lot of family history for me around the building of Lake Cumberland. My grand parents and great grand parents had a family farm near the fall creek area. The government bought them out then took the roofs off all the buildings then flooded the lake. My family, but mainly my grand mother used to run the ferry boat across the river near there when she was a little girl. I did a paper on it when I was in college and really learned alot about the river. They used to grow hemp for rope and my grand father used to talk about all the trapping he did on the river as well as hunting and other farming activities near fall creek. In addition, my uncle was a part of opening and running both Beaver Creek and Conley Bottom docks back when it first opened. He has a picture of him on the first (so he says) house boat on Lake Cumberland. It's kinda funny looking as it looks like a house trailer, lol. The picture has him inside frying bacon with his shirt off. Must of been tough to handle all that grease hitting him, lol.
Anyway, I would have loved to have seen it. Please post the information if they plan to air it again. Thanks.
