Yep, Protem was a nearby town. The ferry was on Hwy 125. We kept our little boat at the 125 boat dock. Our place was on a small cove in a land subdivision called Wood's Cove. At the time, there were only a couple of homes right on the water. That was back in the 70's. I'll bet it's pretty populated by now.
HA!...right on the water. More like 100 feet back most of the time to stay off the government buffer, then another 100 feet to the house. That entire White River System is awesome.
