Do you run into lone, rouge logs out in the middle of the river?

[@StoicNomadic]

@@jimfoley8014 all the time, those are the ones still traveling but we have no motor so they do not damage us. Most problems would be accidentally running the prop into the log

Last week, the river was 20 feet above flood stage at Hannibal.. L&D 23 had all the spillways open, and the tows couldnt get under the bridges. You guys are a terrible example

[@StoicNomadic]

@@johnlewton3918 thank you for watching! Yes the flood has made traveling difficult for anyone on the river. The faster current helps but high water wipes away the flood planes beside the river. It’s an act of wishful imagination to think a journey down this river would be obstacle free and find all observers enthusiastic. But praise God, we’ve made it this far
