Thread: MO River @ Glasgow this a.m.

Snapped some pics on my way to WORK this a.m. Brrrrr!
It even looks cold!

Novice, was a Burlington resident for a few years and this brings back memories. Loved the Mississippi, most underrated fishing in the Midwest in my opinion winter or summer.

Burlington, IA? That's a very pretty "city" in my opinion. Have heard many folks state the same about fishing the MS.

I saw the "city" so I googled Burlington and Fayette both have a first hit "city of ..."

awwwww Quinn, I can only imagine how much that pained you! :D

Because you were so nice, I googled the definition of city:
If #1 is true, Fayette is not a city. Burlington on the other hand would be.

Cool pics by the way.
Speaking of definitions, those shots redefine "Cool"
Is that the new bridge? It looks like the old one???

The bridge that's visible is the "old" rail road bridge. The "new" (refurbished) highway bridge is on the south side of the RR bridge. It's very similar in structure to the "new" Boonville bridge except they used the existing bridge piers and only replaced the deck.
