MERRY CHRISTMAS...we miss our TUMBLEWEED. However, things are looking up and the Captain has said we'll return to the boating life this spring. Plans include a train ride to the Potomac River, car rental to attend the Looper's Spring convention in Myrtle Beach, and then head to DC by boat for some fun. We are determined to finish the loop and return to St Louis area in the early Fall. Til then we are land locked and thinking of our boater friends.
