Where on the River are you?

Pool 8 (La Crosse) is very low, but it because the people who work for bird habitat do that every year to encourage the weed growth....like it needs encouragement.

I haven't driven past the side branches/sloughs in a couple of weeks. Last time we went over the River (maybe 10 days ago), I noticed the sand bars and islands seemed more prominent.

We have had drought up here and worse, I hear, on the Iowa side. But we have lots of people on the dark side determined to use the locks and dams to "return the River to its prehistoric flows."

Maybe seeing the results of Mississippi traffic disruption will make those radical greens rethink their ideology.

From Davenport to Memphis it has been very low.

They have been dredging from St. Louis to Cairo, Illinois to keep a channel deep enough for barge traffic.
