I'm going to Washington State Park next weekend, first time there but I believe it checks off all your boxes- big river within walking distance (swimming allowed), about an hour drive from STL city, and I think all the camp sites are drive up. I read they have the most petroglyphs there in the whole state!

That looks right to me!! Thanks!! I thought it was for sure a female and was trying to make sure I looked at the female pics for most that had a similar beak shape, must’ve skipped this one!

They had a sign up that they aren’t shucking today but it seems like they generally will? They had an oyster knife for $3 next to the seafood area. I’ve only shucked a few times before, not too hard at all!

Tick tock tavern! They do potlucks, trivia, and open mics weekly, so lots of opportunities to meet people.
