End of the Paddle, But Not of the Day . . . May 18-19, 1999 This is the Farmington City boat ramp, with plenty of parking. A day that had started with a visit to Shagbark Studio in Keokuk was to end with even more river fellowship. |

Steamboat Gothic, Here I Come . . . I decided to pay a visit to Bentonsport, where the General Store across from the Fudge Shop had been open for more than a month. I received a warm welcome and an invitation to the village pot luck, where I found lots of folks enthusiastic about the river trail. |
