Peru, Illinois where I live now is on the Illinois River---a major working tributary of the Mississippi (River ;-)

Bruce K. has said he'll put some of my River Years photos up on his Art's Place photo site. So when I can get to the post office, those will be going to him on a CD. The Mississippi, the Illinois, the Sangamon, and the Ohio are represented. The junction of the Ohio and the Mississippi at Cairo, IL is amazing in that the Ohio River is the picture of clarity. The Mississippi is, visually and obviously, very much muddier. The two rivers seem to resist blending.

So, watch for these new ones.
