I encourage everyone to send in the update form so I can send them new map pages, which they can easily add to their book.

It's something I've been wanting to do for 20 years. The Kentucky River is so interesting and offers so much opportunity.

The scale is 1 inch equals 2,000 feet, or about 21/2 inches per mile. The maps don't show underwater depth contours because they change so much due to the heavy current.

Knowing the place names for various stretches of the river comes in handy when you're inquiring about local fishing activity.

How we remember, what we remember, and why we remember form the most personal map of our individuality.

If you want to send in a donation, which I encourage you to do, please make sure you give serious thought when it comes to contributing to charity,
