REAL LIFE
unsalted
The rich rainbow of colors in the sky as the sun sets. The sounds of gentle waves as they rock your boat. You cast your line into the water hoping for a bite and marvel at Mother Nature’s handiwork. It’s just you, the fish, and your thoughts — and the only thing on your mind is that it can’t get any better. But the good news is, it can. You’re just getting started. There’s so much more to explore right here in Somerset and Pulaski County.
So go ahead, pinch yourself. You’re living real life, unsalted on Lake Cumberland.
