If you spend enough time with something it deserves mentioning, the logic, versatile like an appaloosa, I call “traveller,” – it hasn’t been perfect in all situations but its utility value has been – plus, its more comfortable than any lawn chair I’ve ever sat on.” -tgh

    Mr. Haynie,

    my dad has it on his bucket list to boat the Mississippi from beginning to end. I have been trying to find a company or tour that does this…..any ideas?

    I do not know of a commercial avenue to do the river but feel certain one should be out there. The basis (depending on how sea-worthy he is) is a mechanically sound pontoon – from there, its good sense and research (like you are doing now). There are challenges, but that’s what makes things valuable, you can’t be afraid to get wet. It is an awesome ride – let me know how/if I can help…(heck, I just might go if you’re ‘springing,’ I got the time) email
