The Ted and Pat Jones Confluence State Park is just north of St. Louis.
This is the point at which I was going to begin my trip up the Missouri River,
but high water resulted in the road closures and a change in plans.
On the opposite side of the Missouri is the Columbia Bottoms Conservation Area; an observation
area from that side was open. This is the conservation area's visitor center.
The observation area a few miles from the visitor's center. The path to it was nearly under water.
The confluence; underneath the trees at the point is the Ted and Pat Jones Confluence
State Park. The Missouri is in front; the Mississippi is flowing down the right.
