I leave the Joyous island No. 8. I hug the eastern shore when I can. Rock bank protection runs along the shore for miles since St Louis.
A lot of barge traffic on the river, very busy. The barges have gotten much bigger since they have been freed from the constraints of the lock and dam system. Some barges are so big that they have to have two towboats to push upstream. The boat wakes coming off these floatilas can be enormous.
