Having lived most of my life in the Midwest I always find it surprising how many new and interesting places I can find. The past weekend I was lucky enough to visit another new place, the beautiful Lake Cumberland, Kentucky. Although some would contest Kentucky is part of the south it was still within easy driving distance for us. It was only a 4 hour drive from Indianapolis with only the last hour on some windy country roads.

My girlfriend’s uncle was nice of us to have us down along with some other family at their lake house. It is always great to be invited by family or friends to their getaways. As for the lake, it was significantly different than your typical lake. But, different wasn’t a bad thing, it was beautiful with all the side shoots and lack of houses.
