Mighy Ohio

Ohio River, Downstream of the McAlpine Locks

This river carries cargo for great areas of the Midwest. The K and I railroad bridge crosses to Indiana in this view.  

The dams that allow boats to travel on the river are maintained by skilled workers.  Though their efforts go mostly unnoticed the cargo that is carried would not be able to be transported were it not for the workers.

Many families live in the valley along the route of this river. The water is the source of water for the communities in this valley.Though it is taken for granted this water is vital to the people.  This is a sacred resource.
