Des Plaines River; September 13, 2011


We are at the junction of the Des Plaines and Kankakee River -
forming the Illinois River

Left Joliet this morning in a flotilla with 6 other Loopers

Brandon Lock - 34 foot drop

BIG barge waiting when the lock gates opened - 

Des Plaines River began just above Joliet

Nice to be in an authentic river again

Check out these guys with guns!

We were surprised to see lots of egrets today

Anchorage at the beginning of the Illinois River
