Jonathon,
I’ll be in Indiana later this month and stopping
by Fluid Fun. Are you around there by the 29th? Some day I’d like to hear about your travels in person. Glad you had a great trip and returned safe.

I think it is just a wonderful thing / adventure that you young men have done. I recall a few years ago sitting on a log up at the Itasca State park or feet dangling in the water of the Mississippi and talking with my grandsons (sort of) and planning a trip from these headwaters down the Mississippi to New Orleans. Of course it was just a dream but you did it, or most of it.

Congratulations.

Guys - You have completed an amazing adventure; one that any Tom Sawyer/Huck Finn fan would love to try. BUT YOU DID IT!!! Can hardly wait to hear all the stories. I’m sure there were a lot of “God in the boat” moments. Savor them!

We’re proud of you all; the entire team!

Special thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Cox from us. Enjoy New Orleans!
