Trip!

Post by Diverted Income »

We finally completed our trip up the Mississippi! Left UMR 222 North Shore Marina, St Charles, Mo on 6-22 and landed in Burlington, Ia on that Tuesday. Had to stop for two weeks as the river was headed well above flood stage for 2 weeks. 3 locks we needed to go thru were due to shut down from high water. Resumed this past Friday and landed in Dubuque, Ia on Sunday around noon! My first big trip and no real issues! 358 river miles logged. Good ole boat never missed a beat!

Great trip other the up and down of the river this year. Wonderful time spent with my wife. Couldn't get any better than that. 10 trips to Missouri to get the boat ready must have paid off!
