Land Between The Lakes

DSCN0045This weekend I went down to Land Between the Lakes recreation area. It is national forest nearby the Cumberland river. It has a lot of trails to drive on along with lots of other things to do like camp and fish.

This is the Great Western Furnace. It was built in 1854 and was used to make iron. However it was closed in 1856 due to a lack of funds to keep it running, and an uprising from the slaves who worked on it.
