The Ohio River in Evansville...

Evansville is a large city about an hour south of Odon, Indiana. It sits on the north bank of the Ohio River, the natural border separating Indiana from Kentucky. Candace and I walked along the river front on the Greenway path, which encircles Evansville, last month.

During the Second World War, Evansville was an important industrial hub that built Landing Ship - Tanks (LSTs) for the Allies. The USS LST 325 is moored on the Ohio River in Evansville as a museum ship. Unfortunately, when we were down in Evansville the ship had sailed elsewhere - but we'll get to visit her another day, I'm sure.
