Pics 21 - 23        (Nov 22nd) Hey Richard's Gallery Group. I caught 3 boats today on my way home. I picked up a load in Davenport, IA. and headed south. Hwy. 22 runs along the river through Buffalo, IA. I stopped at the local gas station in Buffalo for a cup of coffee (a truckers best friend) and spotted the Show Me State upbound. Right behind her was the Lexington running "lightboat." Behind her was the American Beauty! What a day. Lori and I are going to enjoy our first Thanksgiving together after a 5 year absence! That's trucking. Towboating too? Pics 24 - 29        (Nov 27th) New Dawn & Nathan in Muscatine.
