Monday July 17 I leave the joyous island No. 8, I hug the eastern shore. I review the map often. Rock bank protection along shore has been with me since St Louis. The barge traffic was heavy today, with the barges doubling in size, and being pushed by two tugs instead of one at times.
Took heavy broils, eddies, whirlpools, mostly around bank protection. In some areas I went through backward flow. The creeks are running full force.
The dominant tree is willow, along with cottonwood, and sycamore. Trumpet vine is covering much of the bank in some areas.
I am camping in the woods, with rocky bank protection. The sky is burning with a haze in the air. The weather radio says theirs a chance for rain the next three days.
