 |
We launched at Bismarck on August 17th, 2004 |  |
First time for a keelboat to be in this part of the Missouri in 200 Years. | |||||
 |
Later that day we headed up stream. |  |
On the third day we were still working out a way around snags and sand bars up stream toward our camp. | |||||
 |
We laid over on a sandbar for a while until the wind let up a bit. |  |
Then we took out again, destination Rheumatism Camp. | |||||
 |
The sun was setting as we approached camp. |  |
Finally, docked at our new home for the next two months. | |||||
 |
We were greeted by a fabulous sunset. |  |
We helped shoot a movie about “The Trail of Tears”. | |||||
 |
Had Native American actors. |  |
Horses and Militia re-enactors. | |||||
 |
Boatmen. |
|
Soldiers. | |||||
|
|
||||||||
|
And of course “Best Friend” although her name plates were temporarily removed as she stood in for another unnamed keelboat long gone. |
