The ‘dip site’ will be at Rand Park. Due to the flooding it looks like it will be ceremonial rather than actual. From there, it’s southwest to Main Street and then northwest to the Walmart which is a total of 2.33 miles. (That’s where Pork Belly Ventures will load out from). Along Main Street there are a number of fast food places also. Use Google Earth or Mapquest to refine your plan. That’s just my two cents. Good Luck.
I for one would trust a local news source over some email newsletter from a charter service. Not to mention that I bet TJ would fight to the bitter end to make sure we can dip our tires in the actual river, not some pond in some park.

Supposedly, the Keokuk dip site will be near Victory Park. Here’s an article that was posted 30 Jun but take it with a grain of salt.

Thank you more than I have been able to find!
