On our journeying to Galena, Illinois, the landscapes were verdant (as 1 powerfulness facial expression inwards mid May) exactly it felt to a greater extent than similar March. Cool air, a depression gray overcast as well as a rigid due east air current persisted all the means from fundamental Missouri to northwest Illinois.
As nosotros had learned prior to the trip, flooding was extensive along the Mississippi, too backing upwards as well as flooding the feeder creeks as well as rivers that nosotros crossed inwards northeast Missouri as well as eastern Iowa. Forced from the flooded woodlands, flocks of wild turkeys scoured the soggy fields as well as raccoons ambled along the province roads. Turkey vultures were oftentimes abundant inwards the gray skies, joined at times yesteryear American white pelicans every bit nosotros snaked upwards the Mississippi Valley.
Before heading into Galena, nosotros visited Mississippi Palisades State Park, which stretches atop cliffs that business the due east border of the valley. There, a serial of overlooks offering spectacular views of the Great River as well as its wooded islands, all utilisation of the Upper Mississippi National Wildlife Refuge. After a front end moves through afterward this level (the same organisation that brought severe thunderstorms as well as tornados to Oklahoma as well as Missouri) our weather condition is forecast to last to a greater extent than spring-like tomorrow.
