Low Water


Upper Mississippi Waterfowl Area, West Alton, Missouri...  The water was pretty low, this row boat was high and dry.  Except for the dry part, cause I expect a person would sink knee deep in that muck.  I made that mistake once, not far south of here (about 3.5 miles straight line), on the lower side of the Alton Dam.  I was wandering the shoreline on what looked a lot more solid than this, and sank almost to my knee.  Fortunately it was only one leg, or I'd've need help getting out.  As it was, I was afraid I might leave my shoe behind pulling out.

Standing right about here, looking ENE...  more or less.
