GRR St. Louis

We parked in a campground in West Chain of Rocks, IL.  We took the jeep and drove up the Mississippi to a tower overlooking the confluence of the Mississippi and the Missouri Rivers.

An interesting place but we wanted to get to the junction itself.  So we drove across the Mississippi into Missouri and went to a state park where we could walk right down to the point where these two great rivers become one.

We then drove south following the river as closely as we could.  We stopped for lunch in St. Louis then headed back to the campground.
