58 low / 59 high
The day started out cold and misty and didn't change much. Our plan was to head to Alton which was just 15 miles down river and across from St. Louis. Just before 1100 we headed out for our first day on the Mississippi River. With all the rains to the north it was flowing fast and lots of debris. It reminded us of last years trek up the Hudson. This marina is almost identical to Grafton with floating covered docks and pool with 2 hot tubs. We were lucky to gat an outer slip which is not covered so we can use the satellite tv. A must since there is a gator game on Sat. Thanks Dad is right next to us. We picked up a rental car late in the day and the four of us will venture into St. Louis today to the arch and other undecided destinations.
It looks like we'll be here for several days waiting for the water levels to drop.
