Then, when you wake up the next day, you go down to the BITCHIN' civil war fort (forgot it's name) at the southern tip of LBL. It kicks ass. Also check the Golden Pond visitors center. It kicks ass too, but not as much as the fort. North, all the way up the island, 30-40 (?) miles or so, is some good shops and touristy crapola if your trek is laden with a lady's soft touch and instinct for driving up the GNP of this country's ecomomy. Kuttuwa, Ky, the old pre-dam (Barkly) Cumberland River ferry crossing, is great.. homes there are A LOT cooler and older than in Indy. This is all about 4 hours from the N. part of Indianapolis where I live. Hook into it entirely, and then you'll have a firm handle on nature's (plant, animal, and lady human) majesty. This is the place to go.
