Falls of the Ohio State Park

Explore Falls of the Ohio, a geologic marvel, at sunset

This is Falls of the Ohio State Park in Clarksville, Indiana, just across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky in the United States.

These are 390-million-year-old Devonian fossil beds. It’s the largest of its kind in the world.

Some 600 different types of Devonian fossils have been documented at the Falls.

I am literally walking on an ancient coral-sponge “reef.”


August through October provides the best accessibility to the 220 acres of fossil beds, as the river is at its lowest level during this period.

The Falls was the site where Lewis & Clark met to start the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

The Rise of Fentanyl: Drug Addiction On The I-95 – Two Years On

Drug overdose is now the main cause of death for Americans under the age of 50, they are more likely to die from a drug overdose than a car accident or gun.

More than 70,000 people died from overdoses last year as opioids and illegal fentanyl – which is up to 50 times stronger than heroin – unleashed the worst public health crisis in American history.

Two years ago, BBC News reported on the growing problem of opioid addiction in the US, now we return to find out what happened to the people we met along our journey down the notorious I-95, the interstate that runs from Florida to Maine, and to see what has become of their struggle against addiction.

If you, or someone you know, have been affected by addiction, the following organisations may be able to help.:

Jeffersonville, Indiana Drone Video

Kentucky: Louisville

Louisville is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the 29th most-populous city in the United States.

The rapids at the Falls of Ohio created a barrier to river travel, and as a result, settlements grew up at this stopping point. The first European settlement in the vicinity of modern-day Louisville was on Corn Island in 1778 by Col. George Rogers Clark, credited as the founder of Louisville. Several landmarks in the community are named after him.

Two years later, in 1780, the Virginia General Assembly approved the town charter of Louisville. The city was named in honor of King Louis XVI of France, whose soldiers were then aiding Americans in the Revolutionary War. Early residents lived in forts to protect themselves from Indian raids but moved out by the late 1780s. In 1803, explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark organized their expedition across America in the town of Clarksville, Indiana at the present-day Falls of Ohio opposite Louisville, Kentucky.

Louisville was a major shipping port and slaves worked in a variety of associated trades. The city was often a point of escape for slaves to the north, as Indiana was a free state.

By 1861, the civil war broke out. During the Civil War, Louisville was a major stronghold of Union forces, which kept Kentucky firmly in the Union.

The first Kentucky Derby was held on May 17, 1875, at the Louisville Jockey Club track (later renamed Churchill Downs).

On March 27, 1890, the city was devastated and its downtown nearly destroyed when an F4 tornado tore through as part of the middle Mississippi Valley tornado outbreak. An estimated 74 to 120 people were killed.

Throughout January 1937, 19.17 inches (48.7 cm) of rain fell in Louisville, and by January 27, the Ohio River crested at a record 57.15 feet (17.42 m), almost 30 feet (9.1 m) above flood stage. These events triggered the Great Flood of 1937, which lasted into early February.

Louisville was a center for factory war production during World War II.

Similar to many other older American cities, Louisville began to experience a movement of people and businesses to the suburbs in the 1960s and 1970s.

In 1974, a major (F4) tornado hit Louisville as part of the 1974 Super Outbreak of tornadoes that struck 13 states. It covered 21 miles (34 km) and destroyed several hundred homes in the Louisville area. Only two people died.

Since the 1980s, many of the city's urban neighborhoods have been revitalized into areas popular with young professionals and college students.

Since the late 1990s, Downtown has experienced significant residential, tourist and retail growth, including the addition of major sports complexes KFC Yum! Center and Louisville Slugger Field, conversion of waterfront industrial sites into Waterfront Park, openings of varied museums, and the refurbishing of the former Galleria into the bustling entertainment complex Fourth Street Live!, which opened in 2004.

The Brandenburg stone is an inscribed stone slab found in Brandenburg, Kentucky, United States in 1912, on the farm of Craig Crecelius. The stone contains a strip of linear markings that resemble letters of a script. Crecelius exhibited the stone several times, but was unable to find anyone who could identify the markings.

Jon Whitfield, who acquired the stone in 1965, claims that they are Coelbren, a Welsh-language alphabet. Other writers have elaborated on these claims, arguing that this is evidence of pre-Columbian contact between the legendary Welsh prince Madoc and Native Americans. The consensus of Welsh scholars is that Coelbren is a fake script invented in the nineteenth century by Iolo Morganwg in his book Barddas.

In 1912, farmer Craig Crecelius found the stone artifact in field near the Ohio River in Brandenburg, Kentucky. The oolite stone measures 29 inches (74 cm) long by 15.5 inches (39 cm) wide and varies in thickness from 1 to 3 inches (2.5 to 7.6 cm). For more than 50 years, Crecelius displayed the stone at local fairs. At some point, the stone was shattered into three pieces.

In 1965, Crecelius abandoned his pursuit of the artifact's origin and transferred ownership to Jon Whitfield. Eight years later, archaeologists examined the stone and concluded that its markings were actually scratches resulting from a natural process. The stone was stored at the Brandenburg library until 1995 when it was moved to the Falls of the Ohio Interpretive Center in Clarksville, Indiana.

In 1999, the artifact was moved to the Falls of the Ohio State Park Interpretive Center for a year, and then to the Charlestown, Indiana public library. In January 2012 the artifact was returned to the Meade county library.

Whitfield sought evidence that the markings were Welsh in origin. In 1998, the stone was examined by authors Baram Blackett and Alan Wilson, who asserted that the inscription was medieval Welsh. Blackett and Wilson have also claimed to have found the grave of King Arthur and the Ark of the Covenant. They translated the inscriptions into English from Coelbren, the script described by Iolo Morganwg, and which modern scholars believe to have been invented by him.

The stone's inscription was translated to read: Toward strength (to promote unity), divide the land we are spread over, purely (or justly) between offspring in wisdom. This was interpreted to mean that it was a boundary marker. Jefferson Community College writer Lee Pennington has endorsed claims of the artifact's ancient Welsh origin. The claims have been widely circulated.

More recently, the artifact has been a subject of several books as well an episode of the H2 documentary America Unearthed. Author Jason Colavito has argued against the stone's authenticity, asserting that it was forged in the 19th or early 20th century when several books promoting Coelbren were widely circulated in America.

Walking from Louisville to Jeffersonville, Indiana on October 29, 2018

I am glad that I had a chance to go to the Atlanta area along with having a chance to stop in Louisville on my there as this is the 1st time that I got to be in Louisville since 1982 and the 1 major thing that changed since then is the Interstate 65 Bridge over the Ohio River became a toll bridge, which really fucking sucks and blows, but I am glad that I had a chance to walk across the Big 4 Bridge as it was a rather scenic and interesting thing to see and as always, I had something interesting and thought provoking to talk about, which makes things, even better!
