Docs just about located it, the pictures are just below the Philo Lock, on the Muskingum River which is in central Ohio. The top photo is a small sandbar which I nosed the boat onto while the lock tender changed lock. The middle photo is a sandbar and party central about a mile south of the lock. The bottom photo is at our marina in South Zanesville Oh.
The area has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places and will be recognized as the
Muskingum River Navigation Historic District.
The Muskingum River Parkway and its 160-year-old navigation system were designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in July 2001. Along with such majestic institutions as Hoover Dam, The Empire State Building and the Golden Gate Bridge, the Muskingum River's 10 hand-operated locks are now recognized as one of America's great engineering accomplishments.
In its day, the system of locks and dams that extends 112 miles through southeastern Ohio, helped open the state and the entire Midwest to trade and development. Today, it serves the needs of more than 7,000 recreational boaters each year who come to fish, picnic and play in the scenic Muskingum Valley.

Marietta may be in our future sometime, but their is a good chance I'd trailer it down and put her in somewhere. Most people say it's 8 hours hard running down there and 8 back. Thats to much hard running in one weekend for me to consider it relaxing myself.
