Merging with the Ohio River

Left Cape Giradeau MO,  and headed down the Mississippi over to the Ohio River.

Doesn't look like much be this was quite exciting as this was a  huge accomplishment for us

Still the only pleasure craft on the river.  Smooth sailing thru Olmsted KY. 

The Locks and Dam 52 and 53 Replacement Project, known as the Olmsted Locks and Dam, is under construction between Illinois and Kentucky about 17 miles upstream from the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. The locks are complete and work on the dam continues. Olmsted will replace locks and dams 53 and 52 and greatly reduce tow and barge delays through the busiest stretch of river in America's inland waterways

Spent the 6th night in Metropolis, IL.  Very large marina with all the amenities....not.  It was the George Rogers Clark state park.
