The drought has lowered river levels enough to see some wrecked boats, including this mine sweeper south of St. Louis.

Wow! The level is sooo low I cant see sh*t!!

Now that's strange. A moment ago I couldnt see this pic!

Dude

My son is a photographer for the Baltimore Sun and he is being sent to St Louis to cover the draught!

Charlie

does he smoke cigars?

When he visits me here in So Cal, but otherwise, not very often! I do not know where he is staying or what their plans are, but he is one hell of a photographer, and has won many awards!

That's the boat that was tied up to the floating Burger King on the riverfront, right at the Arch. In the 1993 flood, the mooring lines snapped due to the high water. The mine sweeper had been a floating museum that was pretty cool to go through. It ended up where you see it in the photo above. The Burger King had the entire top half dragged off when it went under the Poplar Street Bridge. Mother Nature can be a wench when she wants too.
