Tower Rock, In The Middle Of The Mississippi S. Of St. Louis, Now A Hiking Destination

[hatrack]

Tower Rock – a massive island in the middle of the Mississippi River south of St. Louis – is typically surrounded by water and only accessible by boat. But as severe drought spreads across the Midwest and pushes river levels to near-record lows, people can now reach the rock formation on foot.

“The river has dropped low enough that you can walk over to Tower Rock and not get your feet wet or muddy,” Missouri resident Jeff Biget told CNN. “I only remember being able to do this one other time in my life.”

Photos taken by Biget show people hiking across the rocky river bed to the island tower – a trek that poses little risk in the near-term as water levels are expected to continue to drop for at least the next two weeks.

1. 2/3rds of the earth is water

"In the abundance of water a fool is thirsty"

H2 trivia: There are 22 litres of hydrogen in ONE TABLESPOON of water.

Hey instead of giving Ukraine (which most Americans couldn't find on a map) 60 BILLION DOLLARS for war, let's give Ukraine 59 BILLION DOLLARS AND SPEND A BILLION MAKING CLEAN WATER.

Answering that will complete the picture.

5. So much for the water pipeline from the Mississippi to the southwest.

Rivers around the world are drying up.

Such as Italy's Po River.



And the Bering Sea is getting to warm to support its snow and king crab populations
