Mississippi River and St.Louis, MO; October 3, 2011


Click here to read about the "Gateway to the West"

Melvin Price Lock uses floating bollards that you have to
lasso with your own lines....hee-haw

Wood River is where Lewis and Clark began their
expedition in 1803 - Missouri River is around the corner

Turn right here and go to Yankton, South Dakota!
Missouri River joins the Mississippi.

The water was confused with swirling currents,
but added 4 mph to our speed.

Avoid10 treacherous miles and take the canal!

The Chain of Rocks Lock have twin parallel locking chambers.
It is the last lock on the Mississippi.

Approaching St. Louis

Hoppies is a welcoming place to stop since it is the last place
to purchase gas for the next 250 miles.
