In the dead of Winter, her truck nicknamed “Maroonie” immediately attracts attention. There’s a kayak strapped down on the truck bed, and signs on the truck that say, “A cleaner Kentucky.”
Whitney Lewis pulls her maroon, 1998 Ford pickup truck into a boat ramp area at Cedar Creek Lake in Lincoln County.
It’s an unusually warm January day of 50 degrees sandwiched between days of more chilly weather. Ideal for Lewis as she prepares her kayak for the water with a couple of large bags.
