We crossed Missouri on our way to see Ray’s Uncle Bill and his wife Sandy. We are staying near Poplar Bluff. Doniphan, Missouri is approximately 30 miles to the southwest and this is today’s destination. First we need to wash the many miles of dirt from our car. It’s always good to drive a clean car when visiting family. Clean windows also make it easier to see where you are going.

This is their beautiful home. Guess What? They have a gravel road.

Sandy and Uncle Bill 

I was told that the Current River has very clear flowing water and that you could see the bottom even in the deep areas. I asked my Uncle about this and he took me to the City Park so I could see for myself. The Park is very nice and the river is as clear as I was told. Today I'm thinking maybe we should own a boat so Char and I could enjoy this beautiful place even more.

The Park has two boat ramps for access to the river.

We had a wonderful visit and my Uncle did notice our clean car.
