It was a beautiful afternoon but the forecast was calling for hot, humid and strong storms. So we decided to take a short adventure to one of our favorite bar and grills,
Hungry Point in Trempealeau. The river activity was quiet when we started out heading north, we were the only one's to lock through the Lock and Dam #7. Hungry Point has some great sandwiches to offer for lunch and they are unique in having their own sweet potato fries. They have plenty of outdoor tables with umbrellas and a screened in porch giving you a perfect view of the Mississippi River Valley. Today we opted to eat indoors in air conditioning because of the high humidity and no breeze at all. Their indoor dining has large windows so you can still enjoy the view of the river. After a wonderful lunch we cruised back south through Lock and Dam #7 and headed down the Mississippi River toward Genoa,WI which is where Lock and Dam #8 is located.The great thing about the Mississippi River Valley there is always something going on, as we passed
Crater Island the inlet was full of all kinds of boats, from houseboats to ski boats to flat-bottom fishing boats. A little further south we came upon a group of
Pelicans sitting on a wingdam and you could hear the echo throughout the river valley as the fought over a fish(
mine,mine,mine,mine).
Continue to follow Houseboating Excursions in the Mississippi River Valley as we cruise and explore more destinations and provide more information, adventures, and resources. Please
