dredging sandbars and removing snags. The first lock and dam was
completed in 1885 about five miles below Pittsburgh, and 12 more were
built in 1910. Channelization of the river was completed in 1929 with 50
lock and dam structures in operation. This system was later replaced by
a high rise system of 20 dams. Nine navigational projects (locks and
dams) are in operation today along the Ohio river bordering Ohio.
Letterbox Clues :

This letterbox is located in Chillicothe, Ohio (Ross County).
.
The city has a beautiful 60 acre park in the downtown area. It was given
the name Yoctangee Park in 1903. That same year, it was discovered that
water from a well near the park lake possessed special medicinal
qualities similar to the water of the Baden-Baden Springs in Germany. In
order to make the waters more accessible, improvements to the site were
made, including a Chinese pagoda built over the well. The well was
called the Yoctangee Baden, and its waters were said to be an effective
remedy for a number of ailments, until the well was damaged by a flood
in 1907. While the Yoctangee Baden is not in use today, there is still a
pretty gazebo at the site. This will be your starting point.
CLUES:
Go to the gazebo near the lake in Yoctangee Park. Standing at the west
side of the center post, take a reading of 255 degrees. You should see
an old-fashioned lamp post on the other side of the lake.
Head over that direction and look for the plaque from the "Political
Center"
Go 240 to Massie.
Continue 280 4 paces and look at the top of the stone wall where the
two corners intersect. The canister microbox is buried under some mulch,
and a small stone.
