Shoulda left the pool be. At least you didn't have to mow it.

I'd a LOT rather mow it than maintain it! My sister had a pool for several years. Many hours a week plus big $$$ in chemicals to keep it clean. She says never again!

Sorta like owning a boat - the two best days are when you get it and when you sell it.

LOL - I put 3X the number of miles on my car in 3 years less time! The joys of a 100 mile/day round trip commute!

I took my wife to see one of the area landmarks, High Bridge, which spans the Kentucky River near Wilmore, Kentucky. Below is a link to the Wikipedia page if you're interested in learning more about it. While we were there a train roared by overhead. It was LOUD!! Also while we were there a sternwheeler paddleboat, The Dixie Belle, passed beneath the bridge carrying tourists up the river.

Looks like a fun little trip Phil. My wife and I love those 'by way' adventures.

Phil, thanks for mentioning it is the Kentucky River. I would have guessed Green River.

Thanks Eustace, an awful lot of history there. I would love to metal detect in those parts.

...beautiful pictures, Eustace!!!!!........... ..........

Beautiful photos of your city Eustace ... I love the old history in Europe... In the USA we don't have the old history that I have had the pleasure of seeing in many European countries - one of the perks of my career ... truth is my wife and I lived in Paris France in the late 1980s and just down the street was still part of the original Roman wall that surrounded the the center of Paris at one time... We were also a very close walk to Notre Dame (ca 1000 AD) but Paris has so many historical sites and art that only one can truly appreciate seeing in person ... and than the castles - just awesome sites to visit in many European countries... I have always been of the philosophy that if possible one should see the world to gain a perspective that will open your eyes to many things...

I would love to metal detect in those parts.

This is a very sure way to be arrested in Bulgaria.

Joe,

They claim it is the largest timber frame structure in the world. The structure is almost entirely made of wood, although the heavy timber framing did have some joinery made of metal. I didn't get many interior photos but I'll add a couple to this post. Also below is a link to an article that tells a bit about the construction.

That arc recreation is impressive Phil, certainly looks like something worthy of a visit if near there.
