Given all the possibilities of places to get stuck with locks closed for high water, we lucked out and ended up at one of the best. Keokuk Yacht Club is a very friendly stop. They are a small boat YC but have provisions for 1 or 2 large boats to stop when transiting the Upper Mississippi River. They have great bathrooms, laundry, and a great clubhouse. When you stay you are invited to everything just like you were a member. Their daily rate is on the higher end for the area, but are happy to work better deals for an extended stay. We really appreciated that, as we are looking at 2-3 weeks.
We got settled in, with a quiet day on July 3, and the 4th. Rain came in so fireworks were postponed until the 5th. They had a band scheduled, so we got to enjoy front row seats to both at the same time!
We closed out our week with a SPECTACULAR rainbow. I have seen countless rainbows in my life, but never where both ends are visible like this. And no, as you can see there is no pot of gold at either end!
