Eagles everywhere

 We motored through two more locks today, and are staying in Parkside Marina in the town of Wabasha, MN.

We thought we had seen a lot of eagles the past few days, but today, everywhere you looked there were eagles.

We passed the National Eagle Center in the boat, and we plan to go back there tomorrow morning.

We've been exactly 250 miles on the river.  I think we will start back south tomorrow after our visit at the eagle center.  I'd like to see the Mississippi River Museum in Dubuque, IA, and there's several other small towns we passed by on the way up. 

Finding suitable spots to anchor has been difficult.  We sneak between wing dams to get off the channel, and have no way to know the depth of areas until we get there.  In addition, the sloughs off the channel are filled with weeds.  And of course there's the fishermen.  Last night, I thought we were anchored in an out of the way spot, but a fisherman and his wife came within 20' of our boat and anchored for about 2 hours.  We had the generator running, but it didn't seem to bother the baby fish he was catching.
