We had so much fun with Tom and his wife, Delores that we asked them to join us today boating down the river to Kimmswick. We passed the Arch in St. Louis on this busy river day. Kimmswick is a charming, small town filled with quaint shops and a great restaurant, the Blue Owl. Our journey today entailed 2 locks which the new crew handled with great skill and definitely earned their “tots.” Fern, the dockmaster at Hoppies, Met with Loopers at 5pm and shared her extensive knowledge of the river system and gave us so many tips for navigating these new waters.
