LOL, naw, it's in ok shape for an urban/industrial river. Not all good, but not the worst by far. That fire was in 1969, and everyone still talks about it. It did have a positive effect, though. That fire shook people up in govt and it led to the creation of the US EPA in 1970, and the Clean Water Act of 1972.

Cuyahoga Valley Nat. Rec. Area was created in 1974 and became a full fledged National Park in 2000. Great place for photography!

I remember all of this from a previous discussion with you but I cannot keep from poking fun at you nevertheless.

Any place where water burns you should flee and if it ever turns into a solid you should fly South.
