The Big Burn


As you may know, brothers, Pat, Tom and I ventured down the mighty Mississippi River in early July. We started at Lock and Dam #1 in St Paul and ended our trip and Lock and Dam #25 in Alton, Illinois, almost 700 miles. The travelers were on Tom's boat, a 18 foot Lund Tyee with 150 horses so we could fly. We took 3 bikes with us so we could 'get' around the small towns along the river. Our only mishap happened on the return trip when Tom's van burned. We saved the boat and trailer but lost a camera which contained 90% of the pictures of the trip. We were on the water for 8 days.
