May 29, 2016. I Walk Across the Mississippi.



































May 29, 2016.  I Walk Across the Mississippi.  Yes, I did.  I walked across the Mississippi River.  Annie passed on the slippery rocks crossing over, but she did dip her hand in the headwaters.  There was a good crowd there.  I suppose the Memorial Day weekend had a lot to do with the size of the crowd. 


We drove the River Road back to Bemidji and will continue on the road tomorrow.  I have no idea where we will land tomorrow night.  The Road is a series of backroads, so it will be hard to travel a great distance.  I expect 200 miles or so will be about all we can expect.  That should leave us about halfway to Minneapolis and St. Paul. 


There will be traffic tomorrow as the holiday weekend closes.  However, I don't expect there will be many people driving the roads we'll be on.  They will chose to travel the four-lane roads and expressways.  We'll just be muddling along on roads people in a hurry try to avoid.  Good. 


Enjoy the pictures.  Goodnight.

Either the sign has been rebuilt, or those men were giants with Annie dwarfing in comparison!! Congrats on the trek across the Ole' Miss. Not many can claim that fame!
