I have several favorite trips I like to make on a motorcycle. one is cruising the river road along the
Ohio river. Timing my trip to correspond to several events during the summer. I start at Metropolis Illinois accross the river from Paducah KY and head up river with planned stops at Cave-in-Rock, Evansville, and several other interesting little towns along the river, I spend a week or so meandering back and forth across the river stoping at the dams and locks and other interesting places. I have done the same on the upper Mississippi and Illinois rivers following the river road on the Illinios side leaving St Louis going up to Grafton and then following the Illinois river up to Peoria.
I reacon that being a river boat captain for so many years I got to where I enjoyed the beautiful sceanery along the major rivers of this country. The Ohio River is 981 miles long and much of it has a road running along one bank or the other with hundreds of cool little towns along the way. GRIZZ
