IF, and IF is in caps for a reason, the Grafton Ferry is open, you can cross there, and take Pleasant Union to Maris Becket to Orchard Farm (V) to Blase Station to Church, to Seeburger. Should be able to use the map from there.
If you decide to go up the river road and use the ferries, PM me and I can give you some alternatives/tweaks/recommended eateries/watering holes.

Thanks Dell. I am familair with the River routes to both ferries, and we're considering them as good options. I'm interested in the route through St. Louis. I've heard (here) that St. Louis is a bike friendly city? I've ridden several years on the busy east coast, and a year or so in South Korea to include Seoul and other big cities, so I'm not a city shocked kind of rider... but I'd prefer a less road rage kind of a day if that is possible riding through a big city.
