Uploading the remainder of that trip, soon. I ended up getting off in the gulf. I saw seven different rivers that trip, after starting in Winona, Minnesota.
Loved this video and just sent the link to my Great uncle who worked on the Ohio river on a push boat back in the 60's. Ever been up the Ohio around the Parkersburg WV area? Would love to see some footage of a boat working that section of the river as I have spent many summers up in that area.
It has a wicket style dam. It allows transit over lowered sections when water stage is high enough. We can actually run around some dams on Ohio when river is high enough.
I always run the channel span. A lot of guys run the high water span with emty's if the wind is blowing just because I guess the bank cuts the wind a little but i never do
