Rotationally


It definitely felt like autumn yesterday.  This display at the Lock & Dam 1 observation area was picture perfect and the epitome of the fall season.

If you go over the side of the New Dawn tug boat, they've got you covered.

Just a gorgeous day today, cool and breezy.  The breezy part was giving this tug a hard time as it pushed a string of barges into the lock.

More from our Iowa trip.  The Casino Queen riverboat was looking bright and cheery in the afternoon sun.

Wishfully


We went on a trip this weekend following the Great River Road scenic byway as it wound its way through Minnesota and Iowa following the Mississippi River. 

We saw high water and flooding everywhere.  Most of the dams we stopped at were wide open, with no difference in water level on either side.  I don't know if high water is good for fishing, but considering the number of boats bunched up around Lock & Dam 7, the fishermen obviously are hoping so.

This was a fellow passenger on a sailboat in St. Maarten a few years ago.  He was really enjoying himself.
