Boonville, Missouri 2980 kms down, only 320kms to go!

Its worthwhile noting when travelling by river through the state of Missouri, you can catch an unlimited supply of carp a day but only 5 bullfrogs.Curious as to how one catches bullfrogs, local research informed that a large flashlight is required as once it is shined in the bullfrogs eyes they freeze making capture an easy task. And of course they taste just like chicken. On a side note, carp when surprised seek suicide by jumping meters out of the water. This makes for an interesting though a touch disconcerting sight as they weigh anywhere between 1kg and 20kgs.

Only 320kms to go until I reach the end of the Missouri River in St Louis. I have a flight out on October 6th which means I have slowed down my pace so I don't arrive too early. And now time to get some food.
