Glad to see your progress, JC--we miss you here already! What a sanitized version of the 1927 Mississippi River Flood--the real stories are far grimmer.!! John Barry's book on the flood is phenomenal. Happy paddling!
Lol! I wasn’t trying to cover the entire thing!! Just the Mounds Crevasse and how the series of crevasses and failures led to a complete overhaul of the levee system. I love Rising Tide, what a phenomenal book! Can’t wait to see you guys back in CDale!
Right on, as Driftwood Johnny would say! Blessings on the rest of the trip--still reveling in the joy of you ans Solange being here!
Incredible photo of the pelicans! I’ve never seen nearly that many all at once. Do you know where they migrate?
I’m not sure on the final destination, maybe the Gulf. But the Mississippi River is their largest flyway!
