We drive over it at Jefferson City each time we drive to my parent's house in Rolla. <br /><br />The river has an interesting past, from the diary of Lewis and Clark, to the channelization that has almost completely changed it since 1912. From a conservation point of view, I would much rather it stayed in its natural form than the straight, deep river that we know today. (of course we reap many commercial benefits from its channelization)WxWatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741058675657292760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340845811317381971.post-61389005748874516392010-10-18T20:55:41.900-05:002010-10-18T20:55:41.900-05:00For some reason, perhaps due to your location near...For some reason, perhaps due to your location near two of the country's largest river systems, the above average rainfall doesn't surprise me. However, the almost 40" surplus the last three years is very impressive. I will be taking a close look at the Missouri river when I am down for Turkey Day... am I sure it's much higher than a mid summer drought like stage I've witnessed before. My Father in-law lives about a mile from the river and I haven't been down to it for a couple years unfortunately. Looking forward to it.Josh Hermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10809581468183556700noreply@blogger.com
