Well this was great too with Doobie Brothers ‘o’ Black Water music – but they took that soundtrack away…. doesen’t change a thing about how great it all was….. we just played what we were dealt…. like now.

Thanks for taking me on the ride with you. It was great to follow along with you this summer. I am so glad you could do this. Love ya.

Amazing I found your site. I just returned from St. Paul back to my home in CO from a trip to plan a pontoon trip down the Mississippi in summer of 2010! Your info is very helpful; great pics and videos. Is there a way to communicate directly with you? Interested in how to set up a web/blogsite and how you made blog entries from the river. I presume you used periodic wifi with a laptop or maybe smart phone? Thanks Lyn

Hey Lyn, My email address is tomhaynie@yahoo.com, it was a great trip and about the time last year I began planning too. I used verizon wireless card on the trip with the only lapses in coverage on the Lower Miss – but that was kinda ok. I would do better on the postings for the next trip – a possibility is the Ohio next year, please keep me posted on your trip
