About a decade ago, or so,..*all* of Falmouth was a lake.
I remember this well. We're about 10 miles away; my lowest elevation is in the 690's. The house is up above 800. The Licking River is 2 miles away and sitting in the 570's at its closest approach. At Falmouth the elevation is 540. The Licking could flood to a depth of 200 feet at Falmouth, and my toes would still be high and dry. Poor Falmouth. What you don't see is that there is a South Branch of the Licking that merges with the main branch at Falmouth. The south branch is emptying from way down past Cynthiana and the main branch empties out of Cave Run Lake, 5 counties east of here. All that water came down to that one little spot and had nowhere to go, because the Ohio River was flooding as well. Yikes!
Regarding boats: I already have 3. One is a nice little ski boat without a motor that 's sitting idle in my barn. I figure I'll just find a way to drag it down there and hook a trolling motor to the back.
