I've seen the Mississipi river many times when I was truckin in that area. It looked big and muddy, simmilar to the Niagara but with alot less torrent and waves. I grew up in Niagara area and have always had the spirit of adventure :-)
Catch ya later.

Wolf- I live in Northeast Arkansas just across the big muddy from Memphis, Tennessee. The biggest water we have over here is the Mississippi River. It is great to be on but a very bad place to be in or under. I would love to set something up with you sometime. When I get anywhere near your area, you'll be the first to know. Sounds like you have a wealth of places to get wet in and we have much in common.I can't think of a better tour guide either. Best regards, Mark Steed
