5-22-16 Johnson Shut Ins :

When I saw how close we were to Johnson Shut-Ins on our way to the wedding, I was excited about getting a chance to see them again.  It had been a long time since we were there.  There was even a huge dam breech since we were there, so I wasn't sure if it would be like I remembered.  Ameren did a really nice job of cleaning up the area from the breech and even built lots of walking trails and a really nice museum about the area.  So we headed there as soon as we left the resort we stayed in for the wedding.
I enjoyed all the wild flowers along along our 1/4 mile or so walk to the Shut-ins from the parking lot,
 One of our first views of the river.  I don't remember walking so far into the area years ago---maybe that's just because I was younger and had more energy then.
