Tug Spotting ~ Nellie D. 37VT63

Nellie D. was just seen on the Mississippi River passing through St Louis, Missouri.  She left the Cumberland, traveled on the Ohio and has been moving ever so slowly up the Mississippi for the past six days.  They just arrived in Alton, Illinois above the Mississippi Melvin Price Lock, where the river conditions are much improved.  In fact, unlike the past 280 miles, pleasure boats are now seen in abundance and the river current is much more tranquil.  Nellie D. is expected to continue north and will be attending the Midwest Rendezvous in Hudson, Wyoming in mid September.
