Wayne Baxter: In search of 'Everlasting Stream'

He wonders if any reader could help the waterway for which the Walt Harrington Lawson Bottom Rabbit Hunting Classic, "The Everlasting Stream" was named. A GPS location would do great, he says.
Click on headline for story with photo(s) of Morris Brothers' of Crocus Creek trout fishing fame and the link to the KET classic story, maybe the best ever, "The Everlasting Stream" with a feature length video which includes footage showing the stream.

By Wayne Baxter

Pictures on ColumbiaMagazine.com recently showed Crocus Creek where it runs into the Cumberland River. On June 12th I made made this picture of brothers Bobby and George Morris trout fishing just up the river from there.


They are from Campbellsville but spent some of their childhood in Adair County. George is the oldest and from the photo, one might think him to be more safety conscious and a better fisherman. I am not telling their ages but if one added the two numbers the sum would be 172 years.

That is Lawson's Bottom up on the bank in the background in the accompanying story..

Several years ago Walt Harrington wrote a book "The Everlasting Stream". The title came from a small branch his rabbit hunting party encountered in Lawson's Bottom. KET made a popular Documentary based on the book. (Link: The Everlasting Stream) I wonder if there is a reader familiar with that area well enough to describe how to find that branch on a Google map photo, or how to find where it enters the river. I would like to make a picture of that spot the next time I am on the river.

Pictures (on ColumbiaMagazine.com) recently showed Crocus Creek where it runs into the Cumberland River. On June 12th I made made this picture of brothers Bobby and George Morris trout fishing just up the river from there. They are from Campbellsville but spent some of their childhood in Adair County. George is the oldest and from the photo, one might think him to be more safety conscious and a better fisherman. I am not telling their ages but if one added the two numbers the sum would be 172 years. The photo was made on Cumberland River, about 1/4 mile upstream from the point where Crocus Creek runs into the river. That's Lawson Bottoms behind them. --Wayne Baxter
