Anybody care to guess what the deal is with this creek?
Hint, Turns out to be a purty good size stream. :shock:

When the Ohio and the Mississippi come together at K-ro Illinios the Ohio is the larger stream.
So, technically, Mississippi should be named Ohio or WVA. The State of Mississippi would become Ohio II or just known by its' zip code. The more major watershed originates somewhere upstream of Pittsburgh.
The confusion this correction would cause is more than justified by the righting of a centuries old injustice done to the Ohio River (from 6 mos to 13 yrs I lived on her banks). I'm in favor of reparations.

It is interesting how this all came about, because the Ohio River was well know before the source of the Mississippi. But on the other hand if the whole thing were called the Missouri River it would be the longest river in the World. :shock: 8)

My husbands family is going camping there this summer (itasca). Not too far from home but heard there was a cougar that attacked a man through his tent there in May. I have a couple of kids that are bite size so I kinda worry about it.
