Allegheny River Start

Today we went to the beginning of the Allegheny River in Northeast Pennsylvania with our long time friends of Merle and Carolyn Graves. Having grown up in the Pittsburgh area I have seen the end of the Allegheny many times where it joins the Monongahela River to form the Ohio. This was the first time I saw the beginning of the river!!  If you look closely to the right of Carol's arm you can see the river. It is only about 2 feet wide here!!!


Here is Carolyn, Merle and Carol with the beginning of the Allegheny in the background. You can see that it is very small at this point.

Here is the historic sign that marks the beginning with Carol.

Carol was having a great time fighting the high winds we were having.
