Description:

A fight is brewing between Kentucky and Ohio over a boulder that was pulled from the Ohio River. Indian Head Rock was a well know boulder that was used as a navigational marker when the river was a major transportation thruway. Since building the Dam in the 1920’s, the rock has not been seen until now. Steve Shaffer found it and brought it to Portsmouth, Ohio where it now resides in the Portsmouth Municipal Garage. The rock has many carving by residence dating back to 1856. 

Kentucky is claiming that it has been stolen and demands the returned. Ohio found it and wants to keep it. So for now, the rocks history is in the hands of the courts.

Let's put it back in the peoples hands. Give your opinion, VOTE!

How is the KY side of the argymenyt weak? KY owns the Ohio River where the rock was located, and documented. Just because KY chose not to pull it out doesnt make it right for OHIO GOV'T to allow the rock to be stolen!!!! Ohio thieves!

I saw this story on Sunday Morning recently. I have to say, the Kentucky side of the argument is so weak as to be laughable. KY--a bunch of looters in this case. Why not offer to buy the rock? I guess it's easier to have the government steal it for you, right, looter KY?
