This web site documents the access sites on the Wabash River from Huntington, Indiana to the confluence with the Ohio River. It includes pictures and descriptions of the access sites and their amenities.
We personally visited the access sites. The first half of the river (from Huntington to Tecumseh) was done by boat. We then drove to the access sites on the second half of the river (from Terre Haute to the confluence with the Ohio).
ABOUT THE WABASH RIVER
The Wabash has always been Indiana's most famous river. Occupying the heartland of the state, the river drains two-thirds of the 92 counties (over 33,000 square miles) as it flows over 475 miles to its confluence with the Ohio below Mount Vernon. The river rises in Ohio near Fort Recovery and flows for only thirty miles before it becomes entirely an Indiana River. In addition to being Indiana's official state river, the Wabash is also the longest free-flowing river east of the Mississippi.
It is a river of many faces and moods. At times it occupies a huge valley which was carved by a glacial runoff but it also flows through a partially filled valley formed before the glacial advances. In its upper stretches the Wabash moves across the fertile, flat land in a narrow, shallow trench.
A trip down any other river in the state will not give as complete a view of Indiana as the Wabash. You will not experience a pristine natural environment (except in isolated sections) but you will see Indiana today and a glimpse of the past. The river is usually muddy and slow moving as it drains much of Indiana's fertile farmland. This factor alone should not deter you from trying the Wabash. The upper end of the Wabash is very shallow with numerous log jams clogging the river and making navigation of the river tiring in all but high water (and then it may be dangerous).

Not much changed here in some ways, except for the major reconstructions in the square bounded by Petty Cury, Corn Exchange Street, St Andrews Street and Downing Street to make way for Lion Yard and the Grand Arcade.
Note also the car park denoted on New Square and the vanished lanes to the north of Fitzroy Street.

An old map depicting Conwy, Llandudno and Penrhyn.
The area has a rich and colourful history:
According to legend, in 1170 Prince Madog ab Owain Gwynedd and his brother, Riryd, sailed from Aber Cerrig Gwynion (now Rhos-on-Sea) in two ships, the Gorn Gwynant and the Pedr Sant. They sailed west and landed in what is now Alabama in the USA.
Prince Madog then returned to Wales with great tales of his adventures and persuaded others to return to America with him. They sailed from Lundy Island in 1171 and were never heard of again.
On 14 April 1587, printing material for Catholic literature was found in a cave on the Little Orme, where it had been used by the recusant Robert Pugh (squire of Penrhyn Hall) and his Chaplain Father William Davies to print Y Drych Cristianogawl (The Christian Mirror), allegedly the first book to be printed in Wales*. They had taken refuge there during the persecution of Catholics instigated by Queen Elizabeth I in May 1586.
* According to alternative sources, in 1546, Sir John Price (John Prys of Brecon) published the first book in the Welsh language, his collection of basic religious texts was entitled "Yn Llyvyr Hwnn" (In This Book).
On Bryn Euryn can be found the remains of a mansion, commonly known as Llys Euryn or Plas Bryneuryn (in English, The Palace of the Golden Hill). Llys has a subtlety different meaning to plas, or palace, and would have been applied to the fortified court of a local ruler in the early medieval (Dark Age) period, so could there be an older building below the present one? Maybe, but there are no signs of Camelot ever being built here!
Somaliland Minerals Ministry Starts Selling New Oil Blocks « Hargeisa City - Sent Using Google Tool bar.

Geological map of Somaliland showing late I980’s block concessions held by the various US oil companies during the Siyad Barre government
Hargeysa, Somaliland, May 31, 2008 (SL Times) – The Somaliland ministry of Water Mineral Resources has started awarding concessions to interested oil companies.
According to the director general of the ministry, Ahmed Ibrahim Suldan, a UK-based Norwegian-owned company called Asante Oil has already purchased rights to a new oil block.
Mr. Suldan disclosed to Jamhuuriya newspaper on Friday that the deal with Asante Oil was negotiated during a recent trip that he and the minister of Water and Minerals Qassim Yusuf, have made to the UK and the USA.
It was only last month when Somaliland president Dahir Riyale Kahin told Reuters that one of his priorities for this year was an auction for oil exploration licenses pending the wrapping up of a data seismic survey by TGS-Nopec, a Norwegian oil service company.
In a subsequent statement issued also in April, the Somaliland ministry of Water and Mineral Resources said that the survey was completed and the data was being processed for an international bid round planned for late 2008.
The data acquired by TGS was not expected to be made available to clients before the third quarter of this year.
However in yesterday’s Jamhuuriya interview, the director general of the MW&MR gave no explanation for what prompted the government to cut a deal with Asante Oil before the release of data survey results except to say that the company was eager to stay one jump ahead of others.
Mr. Suldan said that he hopes drilling for oil in Somaliland will commence by 2009.
He made no mention of the amount of money that Asante Oil agreed to pay for its acquisition in Somaliland.
The granting of concessions for oil and minerals exploration in Somaliland is often done in secrecy.
Only Minister Qassim is allowed to represent the Somaliland side in any negotiations concerning the financial aspects of such deals. All agreements however have to be endorsed by Qassim’s boss, Riyale.
Under Qassim, the MW&MR is known to have signed about a dozen of oil and minerals exploration agreements with foreign firms and individuals. None of these agreements have been submitted to parliament for ratification as required by the Somaliland law.
Both Qassim and Riyale have so far paid no heed to repeated calls by the parliament that the administration should seek ratification for exploration agreements it had concluded with foreign companies.

In the early 1980s, there was some talk among environmentalists about using waste heat from Intalco Aluminum (now Alcoa) for heat. Possibly piping it to Bellingham from the Intalco plant near Ferndale, WA. I was intrigued by the idea so I drew a map for what I thought would be an efficient route to go past many of the major buildings in Bellingham with the least amount of pipe laying required.
The sun was shining so another chance for 'long' walk,
