Flowing out of Lake Itasca in northern Minnesota is a little stream known as the Mississippi River!  Karen ventured out onto the stepping stones inadvisably and now has thoroughly soaked shoes. After that we both peeled off shoes and socks and waded across. The water flowing downstream from here today will reach the Gulf of Mexico in about 90 days, about the time we will be crossing the Mississippi on the way back to Tween Creeks!  It’s fun to think that in the past seven months we have visited the banks of the Mississippi several times. We  started the year with breakfast at Cafe du Monde on the banks of the great river in New Orleans French Quarter and have camped on its banks several times this trip. Looks like the Mississippi is one of our themes this year!
And we did find a couple of geocaches here just as we did on New Years Day. Another theme?
