And, the river keeps rising. In the first photo, showing Eads Bridge, the very tip of the Lewis and Clark "The Captain's Return" statue is all that is visible. I don't know when these photos were taken, but I believe that the statue might be completely submerged. Click here to see what the statue normally looks like.

These pictures were taken Sunday, June 15th between 4 and 5 pm. I had taken my daughter down to the Riverfront to see the flooding and take pictures. I sent them to my family and friends back in Wisconsin and then also sent them to the AQ and DQ Captains, 1st Mates and Hotel Managers so that they could see what was going on here in St. Louis. Captain Rob DeLuca, of course, being one of them. It was a nice surprise to see them on the message board.
I haven't been back down to the Riverfront since then, but hope to go down this Sunday, weather permitting. Our CBS television affiliate here in St. Louis has been posting pictures over the last couple of weeks. Much better than mine, I might add, as I use a cheap digital.
