lbers....yuck....Are you going to Alton? It's a nice spot to stop just
north of St. uis. Some nice antiqu shops etc there...

We're in Alton now, just north of the big suspension bridge. We have a
few days of visiting friends/family in the area, hopefully do some
touristy stuff too. I have been to the Arch before but there's other
good stuff here.

Yep... that's our plan.... after cruising as much of the Cumberland
and Tennessee Rivers as we can. No point in arriving in the Gulf
before at least a week into November.


You're a worthless motor boater now but still I wish no harm to you and
yours.

Gee thanks, I wish you the same. Mellowed over the years, eh?
