Old Man River



This is an interesting video account of a group of young people rowing the full length of the Mississippi River. Brett, the leader, starts by building a Hudson Bay York boat in Ontario. The videos follow them through the high and low points of the trip. I liked the point he made about how the trip is broken down into three elements: a start, and an end, but a lot of middle, a whole lot of middle. You can use the links below if time requires you to come back to join the trip a chapter at a time. There are to be eleven videos, a trailer and then ten chapters. The last two had not been posted when I pulled these links.
Enjoy. Jim
