Leilani anchored somewhere on the Mississippi near where the Kaskaski River meets the big river. As these barges would pass by I could hear the bottom being kicked up by their massive props. Looking forward to making this trip again (or maybe switching it up and going through the Erie Canal) this summer!
Oh man, I think I may have to look into it but it sounds way more complicated than my last Mississippi run, I didn’t pay a fee at a single lock either, but not sure if that’s just cause it was covid or what. If there are still no fees I want to get down the river before they cut funding to the corp of engineers and then I’ll really have to pay.
