Carol Perkins: Visiting Wolf Creek and Tebb's Bend Previous Column: Driving Guy bananas By Carol Perkins" Let's take a ride," I suggest to my mother every Sunday afternoon. We need to get out of the house and see what's going on in the world, even if we don't communicate with anyone else. Seeing people, coming and going, gives us a positive feeling that the world has not stopped even though we feel as if we have. On one of our drives, we went to Wolf Creek Dam. I can't remember when I was last there, but I think it was when I was in high school. We went through Clinton County and turned off on 127, following signs. I was beginning to wonder if I was going to find the dam when it appeared before me. What a beautiful sight. If you have never been there, it is worth the drive. I discovered from my later research that it took ten years to build and opened in 1951. As I marveled at the construction, we talked about what would happen if the dam were not there.
