Rode Boonville to Rocheport yesterday. About 300 yards just east of New Franklin was covered with water, sometimes up to the tire hub, but it was passable. Then, about 2 1/2 miles west of Rocheport, about 2 miles was under water, but we were able to get thru. [The directions that DNR left were backwards--Rocheport westward, not from the point of the flood eastward, so--being out of state--we were really confused.]
We road Hartsburg west, but could get only 2.3 miles towards Milton before the water was top-of-the-tire deep.
Rode Hartsburg-Jeff City this morning no problem. Rode Rocheport to the Columbia side trail--no water, but beyond the Columbia cutoff, it was severely rutted, deep holes at the bridge just before McBaine, and water on the trail east of McBaine, so we turned around.
