Quick Update: On the River Again

***Just so everyone knows, these blog posts are not exactly in chronological order. Things are just very scattered and try to post when I can (about once a week if weather and resources allows).

During this time we started to wrap up our time to St. Louis. We did a good amount of work in the public library in downtown St. Louis.

We also headed to the National Great Rivers Research and Education Center. We got to hear about a lot of projects they have been working on. We also got to go to this really cool garden called Food Roof and learned about the work they do in their garden. They also had an aeroponic system in their greenhouse like at Living Green in Faribault Minnesota. Something I found interesting was that they did not use just soil they had this foam that helps more water to help the plants grow in their environment on the roof.



The day we left we were guided by Big Muddy Mike and Dolly past the Gateway Arch. Mike was helping us and giving us advice on how we should have the bow be lighter because of the waves from barges. There were significantly more barges in this part of the river than in the upper river.
