July 4th on the Mississippi

If we hadn't spotted this riverboat casino on the Mississippi River in Dubuque, we would have made it to the fireworks in Galena... Bottom picture is from the top of the alpine slide at a ski lodge outside of Galena looking at the Mississippi River just before sunset.
Flooding didn't occur this far north this year. The view was beautiful but the crowds were large so we opted out of the parade watching to find a place to eat: "Fried Green Tomatoes"
and opted out of the fireworks to go back to Dubuque to gamble at the Diamond Jo Riverboat and Grand Harbor Resort and Casino...crowds weren't so large there-neither were our winnings...
