So you’re planning a houseboat vacation and your crew is striking • Towels & bedding • Basic cooking, grilling and out somewhere new onboard a fabulous houseboat rental! Pulling eating utensils together a houseboat trip is an absolute blast, but if this is a new • Coffee maker & toaster • Life jackets type of vacation for you, here are a few helpful tips. • Garbage bags • Marine grade toilet paper For a full list and more suggestions of what to bring, please visit www.kydmarina.com Triple-check the list of what’s already supplied on KDM's houseboats so you don’t waste space bringing things you don’t need and—even worse—forget things that aren’t provided. As an extra, bringing your own pillows can sometimes help you feel more comfortable and sleep better at night. Renting in a group? Try coordinating among yourselves so you only bring so many sets of sun lotion, aloe vera, hair dryers, etc. You really don’t need fifty extras of supplies like this onboard, and it’ll save that much more space for everyone. If you’re bringing along little kids, help keep them feel comfortable by not forgetting that special blankie or toy. It’ll add a nice homey touch to an exciting but strange place and can help the kiddos relax a little better, especially at nighttime. Be real about your wardrobe. Will you really be wearing more than swim shorts and a t-shirt for most of your vacation? As a general rule of thumb, trim that suitcase down. If your group is into music, don’t forget to check out whether your rental has a docking station and what devices would be compatible. Choose your travel crew wisely. Remember, you’ll be brushing elbows with these people for a good couple of days, and there aren’t too many places to retreat to when you’re sharing a full houseboat! Bring lots of favorite board games, electronic games, books, and movies for those rare down time moments. There’s so much to do on the lake, it seems like you’ll never have down time. But after dark or when the afternoon sun may be too hot in the middle of the day, it’s nice to have backup activities to keep yourselves entertained and enjoy your vacation just a little bit more. - Story courtesy of Houseboat Magazine 15 58’lakeview Our 58’ Lakeview Yacht sleeps 10 and is the perfect size for a family gathering, weekend fishing excursion with the guys, or just a week-long romantic getaway with that special someone.

  • HALES BAR DAM and the POTENTIAL PITFALLS of CONSTRUCTING DAMS on KARST FOUNDATIONS
    HALES BAR DAM and the POTENTIAL PITFALLS OF CONSTRUCTING DAMS ON KARST FOUNDATIONS J. David Rogers, Ph.D., P.E., P.G. Missouri University of Science & Technology for the symposium on Engineering Geology in the Remediation & Karst foundations are always problematic • This section illustrates the cavernous ground explored beneath the foundations for the Kentucky Dam, near the mouth of the Kentucky River, about 20 miles east of Paducah, Kentucky in the early 1940s • Caverns extended up to 200 feet below river level, 70 feet below the channel thalweg! • The foundation treatment required almost 800,000 cubic feet of cement grout, a record in 1943. • The Tennessee River Gorge is located immediately downstream of Chattanooga. It is known as the Grand Canyon of Tennessee River. It contained a number of perilous “suck holes,” where swirling currents in the tight turns of the river obstructed riverine navigation. Vortex “suck hole” • The original dam site was at Scott Point, but a dam here would not inundate the lower gorge and its pool would impact Chattanooga. A site 33 river miles below the city was then selected, at Hales Bar. • Image at left shows a “suck hole” (vortex) • The Hales Bar dam site was chosen downstream in 1904, solely on the basis of favorable topography, at the southwest end of the Tennessee River Gorge. It was built by the Chattanooga and Tennessee River Power Company between 1905-13, to develop hydroelectric power. • With a width of 2,315 ft., it was a pioneering design for its era; with a concrete dike overflow section 1300 ft long, the highest single lift lock in the world, a sizable powerhouse, and an earthen dike with embedded concrete core wall.
