is a picture of the beautiful limestone walls along the banks of the Tenn Tombigbee Waterway. This limestone reminds me of my hometown Bloomington, In. I think Bedford, In. is actually the limestone capital of the world. The TTB is a combination of canals cut through the South but also involving the rivers as it makes it's way to Mobile,Al. on the Gulf of Mexico. This waterway was built in 1985 to alleviate the traffic on the Miss River which empties into the Gulf in New Orleans, La. The waterway is at least 12 to 15 feet in all places for it has to accomodate the heavy traffic composed of tows with their barges. A lot of the way down this system the water is a lot deeper then 12 to 15 feet deep because the rivers are very deep. The Black Warrior River here at Demopolis averages about 40 feet deep . So in boating you must pay attention to your depth finder because you are constantly changing from canal depths to river depths. Thanx for checking in.... Tom
