How muddy is the Mississippi River?

As the river goes, we are pretty far north.  We took the boat out for a ride today, 30 miles up the river to Clinton, Iowa.  Outside of Camanche, Iowa, I decided to fill up an empty water bottle with river water to show you what it looks like.  Kim is holding the bottle and driving at the same time.   The water was a bit clearer last year, must still be churned up from the flood.  Bet you did not think it looks like this.
