Old Man River

I visited the Mud Island River Park.  The Mississippi River Museum is a history of the river, from pre-Columbian times to now.  It has a gallery about the Civil War, it talks about the music of the river (Jazz, R&B, Rock) and was very good.  You can also follow a “River Walk” that is essentially the river between Cairo, Illinois and the mouth of the river.  It’s about 5 blocks long, and is very detailed. I don’t have any pictures of it, How do you capture something like that in a photo.  You just have to see it.  I did get a few pictures of the Mississippi River.

It’s an impressive river, certainly worthy of the name “Father of Waters.”

Just an easy day today.  It was nice to take it easy today.  You have to do this sometimes on a road trip.  Happy Road-Tripping!
