I'm going to tell the story of today with photos.
Eric's place was AWESOME! THANK YOU, Schmechels!
Paddling past Dubuque.
Dubuque's riverside casino, steam boat, and River Museum
Dubuque
I think this is a convent. Lovely view it has!
Crossed into the 4th state of 10!
The Twilight. I love how the working steamboats still have frilly woodwork. This boat goes between the Quad Cities and Dubuque every few days. That'd be fun to ride on it some day.
Channel markers
Not as picturesque as a paddleboat, but another boat I share the river with.
River surface texture
Islands and clouds
New science project to add to my work. Nitrates and nitrites every 100 miles.
How'd my sunglasses break? Lost my lens later on, found it in the river, fixed it with duct tape.
Spindly but pretty
Homemade pontoon house boat.

I caught up to these guys by the end of the day.
This lighting is my favorite.
Whole corn on the cob stuck directly in the coals. DELISH.
These island beaches have tons of driftwood for awesome bonfires and cooking.
