Illinois River to The Mississippi

Thursday and Friday night they stayed at the Illinois Yacht Club where Robbie changed the oil on the boat.

90 mile days get tiring.

This is Logston Tug Service,  where they stayed Saturday night, tied to a barge.

They are traveling with these two other Loopers.


A silo?

This is a sunrise; they are being forced to start very early because of the locks and because they have to travel so far between places to stay.



An old paddlewheel boat, The Spirit of Peoria

A tow and several barges, they have seen tows pushing as many as 18 barges.

The VIP train to Kansas City


This paddle wheel boat has seen better days.

They are transitioning from the Illinois to the Mississippi River
