This picture from River Bill's site illustrating the high water on the Alton Pool. This is the statue of Our Lady of the Rivers that every one must pass when going down the Mississippi doing the Great Circle Route. The statue is normally surrounded by a parking lot and picnic area. All the Locks are open to water but closed to any traffic as the river is closed!!!! The marinas on the Alton Pool including us at Port Charles at mile 221.5 are anxiously waiting for the river to return to navigable levels. As harbor hosts JoAnn and I are looking forward to another year of "Great Loopers coming down from the Great Lakes. We will be glad to assist in any way we can as you come thru. The river should be fine by the late summer and beautiful with the sandy beaches clean from the high water.
Come see us this summer...Dave and JoAnn
