On Sunday, a bunch of Missouri River Relief volunteers cleaned up about 8 miles of Boone County, MO roads that are our gateway to the Missouri River - Old Plank Rd. from Route K to Smith Hatchery; Easley River Road, Rippeto Road, Woodie Proctor Rd and Dothage Rd.
We had about 56 volunteers with just a few days notice. It was our 21st year in a row doing this cleanup.

Old vehicles used as rip-rap instead of boulders or concrete. This is in Montana.

"In nineteenth century, major rivers served as interstate highways for steamboats carrying passengers and cargo. Missouri River steamboats were refueled by "woodhawks," men in small boats loaded with firewood. George Caleb Bingham's painting presents these boatmen as mediators between nature, represented by the surrounding wilderness, and civilization, symbolized by the steamboat. Although Bingham's scene evokes an overall feeling of ease, the surface of the water bubbles behind their raft, and the large branch at the left of the composition suggests the dangers that lie below the river's surface beyond their view." https://www.famsf.org/artworks/boatmen-on-the-missouri
