diversion channel to the Mississippi River, just north of the LC visiter
center conveys the atmosphere of the original Wood River confluence,
bottom right. The Missouri/Mississippi confluence is northwest on
the left. The sign, top left and photo, top right show its location.
River traffic on the Mississippi continues - under motor power rather
than sail or rowing power. My visit to this spot occurred on May 14,
2008 at 4 P.M. - exactly 204 years after the Corps of Discovery's
departure. They left in heavy rain. Although rain clouds were overhead,
I photographed in dry weather. |
