So looking forward to the holiday weekend. Still planning on participating in the "Blue Moon" float on the Ohio tomorrow night. Let's just hope that hurricane Isaac doesn't rain on our kayak parade.Hope to join everyone at the Green Kayak Market & Eatery after the float...Lots of barge traffic tonight on the Ohio. If you haven't seen these monsters crawl along the river then you are missing quite a sight. The average Ohio River barge is near 200 feet long and carry upwards of 1500 lbs of cargo. Use of barges on the Ohio dates back to the 18th century
