Canoeing the Mississippi River from Lake Itasca to Louisiana

Mill District neighbors, Lee and Colette Goderstad, brought to our attention the story of two young adults from Minnesota, Linnea and Dave, who spent this summer canoeing the Mississippi River from Lake Itasca to Louisiana, arriving in mid-August.  The expedition is documented on their Traveling Riverside Blog and on Facebook.

Lee and Colette got a few pictures of Linnea and Dave as they passed thru Minneapolis.  Below, the couple waits for a barge to pass before they enter the lock and dam. (Look in the lower left corner - they are up against the rail.)

Thank you to Lee and Colette for sharing this Mississippi River adventure with us! :)
