After I started yesterday to blog again about our „RailTrailsRoadTrip“ in October last year, to finally get that to an end, I decided to take that trip up again here, too, with some single pictures. Here, then, is one from our day 9, when we travelled from Collinsville/IL to Hermann/MO, and had a short stop at the banks of the Missouri River:
Working-Barges on the Missouri River
That’s what I call these corners. And I keep saying, „You can go ahead and drink that stuff. It’s really ok. There’s nothing natural in it any more.“ But seriously: does anybody have any doubt why obesity is rapidly growing in the US?!

I’m glad that the Hot Springs Creek Greenway Trail doesn’t lead across THAT bridge! Well, there’s no longer any railway traffic either. Luckily!
What a Decrepit Bridge!

The further down we rode the „Old Frisco Trail“ the more overgrown it became:
