My play ground in Ky. white water

[Captain_Mego]

Hi....some of you may know I have been a avid Kayaker for years now.
I thought it might be cool for you guys to see where we like to play in my home Kentucky. This is video's of the Big South Fork Of the Cumberland river and Surrounding rivers we like to play on. Me and my buddies have had many years of fun running around Tennessee and Kentucky white watering. This area has black bears in the surrounding woods,timber rattlers,copper heads and last but not least your favorite and mine the ever loving water MocKesson. That's basically a water born rattle snake. They are always ****ed and ready to bite..lol Other than that its a friendly place. But on a serious note...I feel it is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth. It takes us about 3 days to go from Tennessee to Kentucky. Theres white sandy beaches with crystal clear water and giant boulders surrounded by canyon walls. Last time we seen bald eagle fishing the waters. That was very cool.

thats not us in the video...we plan on getting a helmet cam this year,.,, we never had access to stuff like that over the years, But since then My buddy tells me they are cheap now. So he is planning on getting us one this year. Hopefully we will finally have our own cool vids. Tina liked to died when I showed her where we go today. She never seen videos of it before today.lol Videos may have made it harder for me to go ..lol Might have been a good thing we didn't have them.

Hey thanks for checking it out...I know some people don't think much of Kentucky or think of it at all....but It's nice to share with you guys something you might not have ever seen. I truly love this place. It is so beautiful in the back woods that no matter how many times I see it I still am in awe of it. I wish more people could see the beauty of Tennessee and Kentucky.

Hey Toys,,,it isn't that bad really...it looks worse than it is. I'm sure we could get ya up and running on the water. I have a lot of friends that are into the sport now from taking them on a trip. I had a new guy go with us and he didn't wipe out once,,I was really impressed how well he took to it. Just if you ever decide to try it go with someone that can teach you the ends and outs and you'll do fine I promise. Were not pros by any means ,,more like semi pros, I have buddies that do way more than we do..They make us look like amateurs. I got a call last night to go on Russel river and down the falls..I figured It was a zero possibility I would survive it..lol I declined

As for standing on the shore,...theres lots of camp grounds and some good trails and fishing too if you don't want to get in the river. Never get in the river if you don't feel comfortable..theres no shame in declining it. Its not for everyone and thats ok too. I never push someone to go if they aren't feeling good about it. No since in a day of fun turning badly for someone. I have seen guys push people do that and it wasn't cool at all.

Chris,

That looks like a lot of fun. Wouldn't mind giving it a go.
So where's the photo garbage bags?
Totally gorgeous! Would love to check out those necks of the country.

I dunno why you would say that.

When I think Kentucky I think of horses and good bourbon

Both good things
