St. Charles to Golden Eagle Ferry, lunch at Kinder's. Ed,Matt Nick,Dad,sister, niece. Saw signs for New Town St. Charles, built in a cornfield for people who want to live in a "real" town with a town square and a coffee shop where the barista knows your name. Then saw the turf farm and the tree farm that are growing stuff for the town, then saw the town, rising like the Emerald City from the floodplain.
