With the river still above 37 feet, I took this series of photos from the vantage points of Mud Island and the Auction Street Bridge. The huge double-barge River Explorer was docked and receiving stores for her next trip to New Orleans.
After over 150 years of continuous, thriving use, the City of Memphis plans to decommission our Cobblestone Landing. Tourists and Memphians might never again see those majestic riverboats docked at the foot of the Cobblestones - much less board a boat there to take a scenic Mississippi river cruise.
