Album – Illinois to Mississippi

These pictures where taken on the following rivers:  The Illinois, Mississippi, Ohio, Cumberland,  Tennessee & Tenn.-Tom.

Really Big Barge.

Really Big Lock.

Forgot the reason I took this river shot.

River Rat.

Meeting with the river queen Fern.  She told us all about the dangers of the river and where to anchor the next few evenings.  Too much information for me.  Innocence is blissful.

LaNostra @ Hoppie’s.  The last marina for a few days.

Lawn Ornaments on the Pier.  Better than Wisconsin hey?!

At anchor in Diversion Channel.  On the Mississippi.

Looks like Cyprus swamps.

Catching dinner?

My favorite position.  Waiting for the sunset.

Evening view from the back of our boat.

Frank – hanging on to the boat in a large lock.

Lots of wildlife in this photo.

We woke up to 117 Bass Boats motoring around our pier.  The were getting ready for a bass fishing tournament.  This is @ 5:30 am.  The man standing on the pier had a microphone and was calling boat names to enter the tournament.

People should be sleeping.

The Bass Pro Magazine asked Frank to take pictures for the magazine.  From printer to magazine photographer…..Next Career?
