Grand Rivers

It took more than three days and aimed to bring hope to those who were newly diagnosed.

He started in Grand Rivers, Kentucky and rode his bike to the same place that provided him with life-saving treatment.

We're starting off the day with temperatures already in the lower 70s.

And as we head toward the afternoon, temperatures are expected to rise to the mid 80s with a chance for thunderstorms and showers throughout the day.

One of her most frightening encounters concerns a dog man which attacked one of her cousins one day during summer vacation at their home near the Land Between the Lakes in Livingston County, Kentucky.

Here's what happened in her own words, quote, "It was one of those typical sultry July late afternoons back in 1978 in Grand Rivers, Kentucky, when this encounter with the inexplicable creature transpired.

I'd come down to stay at my aunt's house for a few weeks of summer vacation and spend some time with my two cousins.

Her home was surrounded by generously wooded and hilly acres and sat at the end of a dead-end road.

There was a rank smell in the area which was unlike the stench of rotting animals.

It literally turned his stomach, but he could not identify it.

He related further that, years before, when the old Boy Scout camp used to be on the other side of Grand Rivers, that an unexplained two-legged creature with wolf-like features was seen along the water's edge close to the campsites, and that he and his son had witnessed it themselves one evening on the Kentucky lakeside.

When summer was over and school resumed, Joe would venture gradually back into those same woods on his dirt bike with a pistol on his belt for protection.

So we came back and we had the canal loop there at Land Between the Lakes, and it's perfect, 11, 11.3 miles.

So from then it was just deciding when to have it, and we wanted March because that helps the community, Grand Rivers, with their economy.

They're busy in, during the summer.

I mean, it's a great area, and Lake Kentucky Lake is one of the premier boating and fishing and, and just recreational areas.

In general, I love listening to him.

If you've never listened to him, he's from Calvary Baptist Church in Grand Rivers, I think it is, and just a wonderful, wonderful preacher and man.

And he said something that he probably doesn't even know that he said, and that was, "Do you change the toilet paper roll when it's out in the bathroom or something at church?" And I don't know why that stuck with me because, you know, that is something that nobody's ever gonna notice that you did.

But it is something that a lot of times we'll just be like, "Oh, I'll just leave it." But are we taking the time to do something that nobody else is gonna see, that nobody's gonna recognize or applaud? Are we treating the church like our home? Because how do you take care of your home? You naturally are gonna change the toilet paper roll if it is empty.
