The Meeting of the Mighty Rivers

Today we continued our roots tour leaving Missouri for Kentucky and Tennessee. We paused at Cairo, IL to gawk at the location where the Ohio River (coming downstream from Mindy’s Pittsburgh) joins the Mississippi (which starts clear up in Minnesota where Greg Harp snaps his pictures.) The barge shown here is leaving the Ohio and turning upstream on the Mississippi. Behind it, in the distance, the Big Muddy flows on down to New Orleans passing by Gayle, Coleen et al.
