Clifton Marina to Pickwick Landing Anchorage

We departed the dock about 9:00 this morning for a cruise day with the Pickwick Lock at the end of the day. There is an Atlantic low working across Tennessee, 20-40% chance of rain, overcast and temperatures in the 70's for the next several days. More rock formations today as we continue down Kentucky Lake and the Tennessee river, this river elevation is controlled by the Kentucky Lake dam 186 miles down river. Now the new pool is controlled by the Pickwick Dam. Lots of fishing both on shore and from boats. No commercial activity today and only a few pontoon boats cruising on the river. 

Beautiful shoreline

I believe each lock is assigned a heron as a masscot
