Meramec Trash Paddle – 6/14/2013
I’m trying to get my family out on the river more to enjoy it with me. I would like to say I’m doing a good job, but there sure have not been too many trips out on the river so far… Today was a day of triumph. Corvin was off at an overnight summer camp, … Continue reading “Meramec Trash Paddle – 6/14/2013”

Meramec Flooding – 6/5/2013
With the Mississippi river up as high as it is, the Meramec river is going to back up as it feeds into the Mississippi. The top left of the map below has a red square where the images were taken.

Sonora Softball – 6/4/2013
I have to start off this post by being very clear, I did not take the photos. Danelle had the camera and was focused on taking photos of the girls on the team playing the game. As you look through the pictures, you may better understand the meaning of that statement… Yep, that’s my delicate … Continue reading “Sonora Softball – 6/4/2013”
6th Highest Missippi River Crest St. Louis, MO 40.52ft – 6/4/2013
I happened to be working downtown to witness the 6th highest recorded crest of the Mississippi river on June 4th 2013. It was amazing seeing the river come as high as it did.

The parking garage has its entrance under water. … Continue reading “6th Highest Missippi River Crest St. Louis, MO 40.52ft – 6/4/2013”

Strawberry Jam – 5/27/2013
I’m a huge strawberry jelly/jam fan. The rest of the family likes it as well. So we went to the strawberry patch in town and picked a huge amount of strawberries for making jam. As always, the kids start out on a tear and get tired quickly! Of course, they can re-energize when they see … Continue reading “Strawberry Jam – 5/27/2013”
The Axe – 5/26/2013
My next door neighbor cut down a tree in his yard. The way the tree fell, the trunk was against the ground and he didn’t want to mess up his chain saw cutting into the ground. I decided to help out. I went over with my 2 ton floor jack [for the car], a large … Continue reading “The Axe – 5/26/2013”
Jeff City to St. Charles on the Missouri River – 5/25/2013
In an effort to have the maximum training for the MR340 race this year, I planned the two full moons before the race to do overnight training runs. This would give me the distance and nighttime practice I needed for a successful race. I posted my plan for the paddle on the forum and waited. … Continue reading “Jeff City to St. Charles on the Missouri River – 5/25/2013”
