The Great River Trail ride on 9-2-2013

As today was Labor Day we decided to ride another section of the Great River Trail, we drove to Rapids City and Parked at Shuler's Shady Grove Parking lot.


We rode south under I-80 and continued on to Hampton, IL 


and soon we came to Lock and Dam 14.


This is the old Arsenal Power Plant which connects Sylvan Island to Arsenal Island.


I- 74 Bridge in the distance.


Lock and Dam 15 and the Government Bridge.


This was our turn around for the day, a plaza across from Lock and Dam 15, with Centennial bridge in the back ground.

On our way back I shot this picture of an old abandoned depot, with the Kone Tower in the background.
Our round trip today was right at 30 miles, it was a beautiful day for a ride, after all of the HOT weather we have been having.
