Lock and Dam # 11: a view from the appropriately named Eagle Point Park. Unfortunately, I didn't see any eagles when I was there. Maybe I'll be lucky next time. The Mississippi River is a major flyway for our majestic avian friends.

    This might have been the friendliest place I've ever visited. Wish it wouldn't have been so cloudy during my time here though. Oh well, I'll have to go back.
