On a recent trip to Kentucky Lake, my family stopped at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. As you readers know, rivers play an important part in post-apocalyptic America in my series. In book 6, the confluence of the two rivers–at Cairo, Illinois–becomes a focal point for the story. I thought it would be cool to stand on the very tip of the land south of Cairo and snap a photo of both rivers at their meeting point. Standing in Illinois, the bridge to the left is linked with Missouri and the bridge to the right is linked with Kentucky. A very interesting piece of Geography, and an excellent place to fight zombies!
The photo below is looking south at the muddy Mississippi on the right, and the Ohio on the left.
