Not sure if it's the right Rowe Creek but theses is a Rowe Creek in Lawrence Co., Ky.. Directions, from Ashland go South on US 23 to the Lawrence and Boyd Co. Line. Continue South on 23 about 2 miles to the mouth of Rowe Cr., where it empties into the Big Sandy River. kt Betty Lou Riley wrote: > Hoping you can shed some light on an odd one.
