After an eventful journey north, Junebug 1 and Junebug 2 made it to Piasa Creek just after midnight last night. Today, the five Mighty Quapaws, John Ruskey, Seth, Ellis, Melvin, John Cooper, Scott Mandrell and I began the work of constructing the raft that will carry our merry band and the Monsta Movies Film Production team to New Orleans. It was a marvelous day of hard work, topped off by an Independence Day celebration in Alton, IL. Our Berliner friends are surrounded by Americana, nothing of which will top the experience they will have when we shove off on Monday.
