[Rhodes22-list] Mississippi River

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

Slim,
As a youth, our family rented a house boat and spent two weeks on the  river. 
Back then we swam in it to our hearts content. Now I find out that there  are 
actually salt water sharks in the river. Yikes! Ignorance is bliss. It was a  
great trip with many towns and places to tie up at and explore. One of the 
best  vacations of my life. Go for it.

Hey Rod  and Mary,

Have you ever taken a trip down the river?  Mary Ann and  I have always
fantasized about a Mississippi voyage.  Do you think  this would be doable on
an R22?  There's lots of towns along the way  to stop and visit and you could
beach almost anywhere.  It's a  commercial waterway and so it's main channel
is maintained at a 12 foot  minimum.   We'd go down but not back up.  We'd
have to  arrange someone to meet us with a trailer somewhere downstream.   One
downside is that I wouldn't really want to swim in it.  Any  thoughts anyone?

Huckleberry  Slim
