Guttenberg to Marquette, Iowa

Not far traveling but again threatening weather and heat and humidity, oppressive!  

Guttenberg harbor, well protected.

Lock and Dam #10, Guttenberg.

Pelicans at the Lock.

Mining, stone.  Have to research more.

So... we found moorage, lodging and food near the hotel.  There were tornado warnings for the areas we were traveling.  The storm passed through by late afternoon and the river was calm.  We met and were invited aboard a neighbor house boat.  They also shared some filets of walleye and home brew beer that tasted as good as ALASKAN, in our opinion.  Three couples from Iowa were enjoying each other's company.  They were also curious about our boat, our Great Loop and us.  Kindred Spirits once again.

Our 8/12 am departure from Marquette -- our new friends got up early to say goodbye and help us cast off our lines.
