Our daddy used to go fishing a lot. He spent a lot of time in the Mississippi River, and I remember our family going to this place with him. I loved this place. Rob took me back there before we left Illinois so I could get some photos.

| When I was a little girl, I used to play on the sandbar while Daddy fished and I would pretend that there was a princess locked away in these "castles" by an evil witch. :) |

| Low Water Dam- This is a really rocky area- goes all the way across the river- normally and has a lot of rapids, but there was a lot of rain while we were home and it was underwater a few days later when we returned with the camera. |
 |
| Chain of Rocks Bridge- this old bridge was closed to traffic when I was very young. Rob remembers it being open, but I was just a toddler then. It is open for foot/bike traffic now, and we walked across to get some photos. |

| a log floating down the river- here in Central NC, there are no big rivers of any kind of size- was hoping my students could get an idea how big the river is with this picture |
Goodbye Daddy. Thanks for some good memories. :)
