    July stop at Alton IL lock & dam

    Very nice museum and displays. The quite outside answered all our questions. Learned a lot, and enjoyed the stop. You can see ships up close.

    Nice visit to the last dam on the river

    Nice visit to see the dam and surrounding wetlands for the birds. Nice wildlife habitat for birds passing through this fly way.
