A Trip Down the Mighty Mississippi

Published by admin | Filed under Travel Connection

I like floating down the river. My local river here in Georiga is called the Etowah River and I have floated down it several times. I was about 18 years old when I did it for the first time and it was an interesting trip, seeing parts of a city that I have lived in my whole life, but never had seen before. Floating down the river is a great way to see new and interesting things. Just make sure you take plenty of beverages to drink and why not do a little fishing; when you decide to float down the river too.

I could only imagine what it would be like to float down the Mississippi River. I’m not sure exactly where it starts at, but I would love to float down the entire length of the Mighty Mississippi River. I know the journey would take me through several states and I bet there would be tons to see on the way to the Gulf of Mexico. If you have ever been on the Mississippi River; then please share your story with me. Even if it was a short trip or perhaps you was on one of those gambling boats that stay docked out in the river. Tell me your Mississippi River stories. I’m not sure the time it would take to make the journey, but I bet the speed on the Mississippi River would be a lot faster than the speed I was doing on the Etowah River in Cherokee County, Georgia. The distance would be much greater and I would probably need supplies that would last me for weeks. I doubt I could get all of my supplies on board at one time, so I would make a stop along the way to pick up new supplies. I think it would be an awesome trip and the reward at the end; knowing that you just floated the Mississippi River, would be something a lot of people couldn’t say. Floating down any river is a great way to get out and enjoy nature and if you haven’t never tried it before, you must do it this summer!
