Scenic Monroe Co., KY: Ferry at Turkeyneck Bend 2012-09-13 - Cumberland River, Monroe Co., KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. On a recent monthly 'Know Your County Better' - George Kolbenschlag and I, ventured over the Hill into Cumberland County, where, coming under the spell of Monroe County style barbecued pork chops at Capps' Barbecue - a real delicacy with two huge chops barely captured between halves of two industrial size buns - we made the noon hour day trip outlined earlier by explorers Don Moore and his wife Jane Baxter Jones, and crossed the Cumberland River on the Turkeyneck Bend Ferry to get to Tompkinsville, thence up the new KY 163 to Edmonton and home to Columbia from there. It's a trip I'd recommend, and think Mr. Kolbenschlag would, as well. It only took us about 3.5 hours of fast hard driving. Maybe a qualified speed record for our generation. - Ed Waggener Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
