September 15 - Kimmswick to Cape Girardeau, MO

It was quite windy, but it was dry and the sun was shining. We left Hoppie's and continued our southward trip. The limestone cliffs and some interesting homes were the hilites of the morning. 

We passed a number of tow boats - one was pushing 36 barges.  Near Mile Marker 80 we saw a limestone formation called Tower Rock.

Everyone needs a nap after seeing so

many interesting sights.

At Mile Post 52 we came to Cape Girardeau, MO. Like a number of other river towns, this city has a flood wall. The section seen here was decorated.

Soon afterwards we came to the creek where we dropped anchor for the night.
