As I pulled out of the Holiday Point Marina, I took a photo of the beautiful bed and breakfast. You can tie up your boat at their covered docks, then stay at the house.
The Greenup Lock and Dam was about a mile away. As I approached, I could see their small lock was under repair. So I called them and they said come on in the big chamber. It took five more minutes for me to get there, but they already had the doors opened.
Here is a photo of me and my 17' kayak, in a lock big enough for a towboat and barges up to three wide and five long. The total drop here was 30'.
I took this photo of the lock door as I was leaving.
The locals call this "the bicycle bridge". That's what it looks like, but it's actually a suspended pipeline.
This is a petroleum barge passing under the Scioto Railroad Bridge.
Here is a towboat called The Cincinnati.
I passed by Portsmouth, Ohio and talked to the people siting on the wall.
The book I'm using on my trip said to go about a mile up the Kinniconnick Creek for access to a grocery store. This turned out to be a bad idea....very muddy and the store was half a mile away.
