  The Confluence Project reconnects people to our Great Rivers through a 200 square mile network of conservation, heritage and recreation attractions being developed along the Mississippi, Missouri and Illinois Rivers in the heart of our bi-state St. Louis region. The project emphasizes open space conservation, habitat restoration, and development of a linked system of multi-use trails, recreation facilities, historic and heritage sites, visitor education and service centers, public art and interpretation from the Arch to St. Charles, Missouri and Grafton, Illinois. For more information, visit The Confluence website at http://www.confluencegreenway.org.

  We have been at the big confluence several times over the years. The one thing that I can't understand when stand there is that low elevation above sealevel (The sign must be wrong). If it's less than 500', that means the mighty Mississippi River would have less than a foot-of-fall per mile to the Gulf of Mexico. That's impossible. Please have someone check and log this elevation on line where we can find it, like Wikipedia. Thank You.
