Rochester Dam on The Green River


This picture taken on Route 70 near Paradise, Kentucky. John immortalized this area from a verse from his song "Paradise".

When I die let my ashes float down the Green River
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester Dam
I'll be halfway to heaven with paradise waitin'
Just five miles away from wherever I am

I do want to add that there are three (3) proposals from the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers for fixing the dam. As always it has become a monies issue.
