The Mississippi River

Sunday, August 27th, they entered the Mississippi River. Sunday night, they stayed at Alton Marina in Alton, Illinois.

Entering the Mississippi

You must go where the sign directs you around the Chain Of Rocks, otherwise you go over a waterfall.
They lose a boat a year this way.
Monday, August 28, they went through St. Louis.



Entering St. Louis












Leaving St. Louis


Kansas City got 3 inches of rain on Sunday, which is why there is so much debris in the river.


There are some beautiful big homes along the river.


This is where they are staying tonight, at Hoppie's Marina in Kimmswick, Missouri
Monday, August 28th
Hoppie's, the last place to get diesel for the next 230 miles.



Too tired to smile, this part of the trip has been tough.
