On the Katy Trail near Rocheport, Missouri, and in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark. Beside needing some good exercise, I wanted to look at water levels in the area. The Missouri River here is high but not in extreme flood state. I crossed the Mississippi near St. Louis several hours earlier and it too was swollen and had crested. But I've seen it much higher there too. Perfect temperatures too!
The
Missouri River and Watershed has to be my favorite large river systems in this country. Coming out of the confluence of several rivers in Montana, including the the Madison, the Jefferson and the Gallatin, it forms the massive body of water you see above as it flows over a thousand miles, finally giving itself up to the Mississippi River below where this picture was taken.
