Yessir, it was the Ohio. possibly putting in at Cave in Rock, and
taking it around to Cairo or maybe keep going to St. Louis.

I typed in mapquest from CIR to Cairo, and you can see the river run.

Looks like a lengthy bit of motoring.
Ever boated on the Ohio?
Big sucker, and I usually see barge traffic when I go over the bridge
by Paducah.
One trip down to Florida with my brother I insisted on staying off the
interstate, and we drove down eastern Illinois on state roads.
Lots of abandoned little towns that used to serve the coal industry.
Quite a few oil wells pumping too.
Crossed the Ohio to Kentucky on a cable ferry. *Enjoyed all that, but
it was a slow trip. *Scouted the Kentucky Lake area for a place for

for weekend trips to visit everybody, but a good time was had by all.

Vic, that was part of it. Cave in Rock actually is a landing on the
Ohio, and you can either go for Cairo or to Ky. Lake. From what I can
gather. either was is a fun outing.
