... and the Missouri were the destination of our US trip :
| Following an all-night storm, the first day of the trip was overcast |  |
  |
Floaters: Rob & Donna Holger, for once not paddling like a maniac |
| Our first stop: Eagle Creek The weather was rapidly improving |
   |
 |
Exotic plants to be seen everywhere |
| The "Eye of the Needle" across from Eagle Creek campsite |  |
  |
Some typical views of the Missouri in this area |
| Second stop: "Hole in the Wall". The small yellow dot near the river (first picture) is our tent. |

  |
More stunning shots of the river. |
