Photos (With Words)

needed a little extra time to say goodbye

camping spot on turkey island, rock river

approximately 1 mile to confluence

same camping spot as above

i wanted a photo showing rock river width

this will help with mississippi river comparisons

only a few feet left of rock river

then we get to play the molecule game

(nico on the watch for asian carp)

the confluence

omr on omr

mississippi river shot

there's industry ahead

towboat sighting

(this one wasn't moving)

(ergo: no wake)

first campsite on the mississippi river

and site of rest day

off the main channel it has rock river appeal

mississippi river shot from thursday

navigational light

i am just a hint river left off the main channel

inside the lock
we only dropped a couple of feet

the lockmaster is upper left and on his way to open the second set of gates

nico looking forward to muscatine

since i spend most of my time paddle right, i appreciate nico left

waiting in muscatine as a train goes by

those same train tracks will later kill my canoe cart

what's that candy wrapper doing there?

well, don't you see it?

well pick it up.
