Maiden Voyage

Our maiden voyage aboard a my brother's boat.  It ran really nice and handled the river well.  Even when he tried to run us a ground.

It was a nice little trip down the river.  I really enjoy being on the Mississippi and I haven't been on it since I was in high school, so this was a real treat.  I also got a couple good shots of the casino facilities in Marquette, Iowa.

Sunday morning hike along one of the trails near the overlook.  It had rained a bit during the night and there was a little water flowing, over the edge of the rock.
