No pictures - the weather was lousy. We had rain from the time we departed Alton, IL until our arrival at Hoppies Marina in Kimmswick, MO. Lucky for us, the trip was just 40 miles. Hilites were the Melvin E. Price Lock & Dam - with a drop of 23 feet, Lock & Dam 27 with a drop of 27 feet and the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO.
In the late afternoon we were visited by Dick and Ankie Lodge. Dick is the Honorary Netherlands Consul in St. Louis and was my colleague when I was the Honorary Netherlands Consul for West Michigan. Afterwards we walked to the village of Kimmswick. It was a bit disappointing since the restaurants were all closed.
