Cabin

Our family has stayed at this cabin on the Cumberland River a couple of times so we got permission to go look around it.

This cabin is very cool.

We didn't go to town to get the key so we walked around and peered in the windows.


I think Levi enjoyed showing the cabin to Hope.

It sleeps fifteen in beds but many more if you bring sleeping bags.

One of my wife's favorite things is the coyote that looks over the balcony.

Upstairs has all the bedrooms and downstairs is all open with a big kitchen.



Elaine saying " I wish we could bring this home with us.".

They added an outdoor stage complete with a lighting system.

A nice big porch.

Down the ramp to the Cumberland River.

The river was way down so we went out and explored the river bottom that was now exposed.

We will come back here and stay again for sure.

One of the most fun things about the cabin is driving back to the cabin.

You drive for a long while down a creek.

Here a video of it. It was pretty dry this trip but it has been flowing when we were here in the past.

Bugs Bunny: Elmer Fudd The Hunter 2

"Eh-h-h Wot's up, Doc?
Nice gun!"

These reels are kinda famous because Elmer Fudd is so tan in them all.
Maybe they over baked him or they just picked the wrong skin tone paint.

Poplar Log Cemetery

After we left the Old Mulkey cemetery I called my Dad and had him meet us at the family burial grounds, Poplar Log Cemetery.

Dad brought mom and my brother Chads kids with him.



I had Dad tell us stories we had heard before but we love to hear again. Also I want my kids to know the stories so that they can pass them down to their kids.


In the picture above Dad is telling us about his youngest brother, William Med, who only lived for a day.

These two headstones are for Dad's Uncles who had pneumonia but went ahead and checked their traps in the winter and died while still young boys.

Listen to your Mother boys is the lesson here.

I think this is another one of my Grandmas brothers.
This one relative needs a whole post to himself.
Fear, murder, revenge and a shootout at the courthouse is the summary of his story.
Check back later for the story in its entirety complete with the newspaper clippings.

Left to right: Levi, Joel, Me, Zach and Dad in front of my Grandparents grave.

Here are my Grandparents in front of their grave.
Dad said they were proud of it. I thought it was a little creepy at the time.
Now whenever I am at the grave side I think of this picture.

Me with my Grandma.

My Grandpa name is John Turner.
My Dad is James Ted and we named Joel, Joel Ted to keep the J.T.s Running in the family.


Many stories here.
The kid who died from eating to many apples and died from diarrhea.
The relative who died from riding his horse while drunk and ran into a tree.
Not to mention the town drunk named Tanglefoot.
