    Upper Mississippi Snow Melt

    We were planning on being there the 13th for the Keels & Wheels event, we would leave our marina on the 10th or 11th. Just have to wait and see what happens, might luck out but I wouldn't bet on it.

    Upper Mississippi Snow Melt

    We were planning a cruise up to Muscatine in May now we will hold off on reserving a slip till I have a better idea what the river has in store.
