Here's a really good reason why I haven't attempted to go boating this
year.

Lakes and rivers are too low for comfort. Not much more disgruntling
than snagging a lower end on rocks or a stump.

We were in St. Louis this Saturday and crossing the 'bridge' you could
see the barges on the banks of the "Mighty Miss." almost as if they
had been beached.

There's a couple public landings in view when crossing the river on
I-64 that are usually crammed full of trucks and boat trailers. I
think we counted 5 in one and 3 in another. Mostly short single axle
types, which would indicate small, shallow draft fishing boats.
