The date has been set

We have decided on a departure date: May 29, 2010. This is the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. Our friend, Mike, will be driving us to Lake Itasca Friday, the 28th, where we will camp and prepare our gear. As early as possible on the 29th we will launch on our journey down the mighty Mississippi. Of course, this all depends on weather, river levels, and the logistics of the eleven hour drive to the headwaters. As of now, D-Day is May 29th!
