K Ohio River



Sunday Sept 4, 2022:. Flew to Pittsburgh, stayed in the downtown Drury.  

Monday:. Boarded the American Heritage for lunch.





Too much food, and too often.  and this is lunch!  :




The paddle wheel doesn't show up in the picture of the lounge, but the close-up reveals it.  Tho it turns as we go, it does not power us at all.




The schedule from noon to 9pm:
like the food -- plenty!



19 locks between Pittsburgh and Cairo, Illinois allow us to drop from 710' to 250' elevation on the Ohio River in 964.4 river miles.in 9 days.  Note the gangplank attached at the front of the Heritage  


The lock begins to open.

The lock open for us to continue.

Plenty of light rain, bringing interesting skies


Tuesday, first full day on board.  Starting the day with 100 percent humidity.

Two breakfasts offered, mid-morning snack, regular lunch or a baked potato bar.  We chose a half sandwich, but couldn't turn down dessert.  Couldn't even wait to take the picture before sampling this.
