It's a cool name for sure! It actually gives me an idea for a #weekend-engagement topic...Funniest or most unusual place name.
That's cool about the river...It's not something I've thought about before but yeah, the ice age would have wiped out so many ancient features around the globe. The ice swept over the UK basically wiping it clean and depositing earth and rocks from other places for instance...Interesting stuff really.
Tell Liza, kickapoo from the old G-dog!
