River and Bayou

Mississippi Solo: Memphis to the Gulf by Canoe


Quick Update

Friday evening. Sun is going down. Too exhausted to write up the daily posts for yesterday and today. Will try to get them posted tomorrow morning before I start my canoeing. Right now, I’m camping on a sandbar about 8″ above the level of the river. Will literally have a rope connected to the canoe tied to my wrist, so I’ll know if it starts to drift off. Best place I can find. Past two days may have been the hardest of my life. Heat is bad enough. But the river is so low it’s hard to find a spot to pull off w/o sinking up to my knees in mud. I’m just south of Helena, AR. Next stop a week or so in Greenville, MS. Looking forward to that stop. There’s a proper campground there right on the river. With hot showers and everything.
