2011 Mississippi River trips |
Ongoing Take a Hike: Australian Michael Barrett started on a solo trek along the Mississippi on September 28 at Itasca. He hopes to raise awareness and money for struggling communites in Colombia. Check out his account at Journey Down the Mississippi
November 4: Michael is in Illinois. All along the way, he is being helped by strangers, in many unexpected ways. From his blog:
Earlier today about 15kms out of Montpelier, a woman stopped her car beside me and started yelling questions at me from the window "What are ya doing", "Are ya hungry", "Where ya going". I went to say gday and answer her questions and she sped off down the road. Getting used to strange people and events I laughed it off and continued on. A half hour later a familiar looking car came speeding towards me from the opposite direction and the yelling lady was back again. She produced a little can of oil from her car and told me I had to oil the wheels of my cart as they were too noisy and would not make it much further. She then produced three bannanas, a mountain dew and a box of carrot cookies (better than they sound beleive me) and thrust them into my arms with all the affection of a rottweiler. I told her she was a hero and she had made my day, she gave me her first smile, told me "God Bless Honey" and sped off again.

Ongoing: Ryan Emerson from North Carolina started his solo canoe trip at the Headwaters on Sept. 9. He's keeping a blog, Float Onward. Here's a news story from Minnesota.
Update Oct. 25: Ryan is about a week upstream from St. Louis.
Ryan started late enough in the season to experience frosty mornings. But he lucked out and paddled the 14-mile expanse of Lake Winnibigoshish on a calm day. (The lake can be one of the early obstacles for paddlers - practically impossible to cross on a windy day.) |
Al Sazama, Conor Pesci and Sean Hickey left August 16 for their journey from Lake Itasca to Venice, Louisiana. Check out their updates on their blog: MN to LA, Our Wild Ride Down the Mississippi.
and Twitter.
Update November 7: In Natchez. |

Wisconsinite Ben Jonas set off from Eau Claire alone in a canoe on the Chippewa River early in June and headed downstream. Then the Chippewa opened into the Mississippi. He kept on paddling, and 38 days later his parents picked him up in Louisiana. See Doug Moe's account in Madison's Cap Times.
An excerpt:
Jonas reached the Mississippi on Day 2. He awoke that morning — having paddled eight hours the day before — as sore as he’d ever been. The day on the Chippewa had been uneventful, but the Mississippi’s vastness got his attention.
There was a day when he was pummeled by ugly flying carp and another when a family of deer swam past his canoe close enough to touch.

Three paddlers heading down the river are doing it standing up. One could become the world record-holder for the longest stand-up paddleboard trip.

Alex Linnell from Minnesota has a head start -- he launched his paddleboard on June 1st at the headwaters. He figures it will take 60 to 90 days to get to the Gulf of Mexico. He is promoting donations to the Red Cross to help flood victims. Alex' progress page |
UPDATE:
Alex reached the Gulf on Tuesday, August 9th.
Alex traveled from June 1 to August 9, 70 days. He paddled 65 of those days. His official mileage is 2323 miles. From his website:
I have calculated my Mississippi River mileage conservatively at 2323 miles. This is calculated using the MN/Dept. of Natural Resources and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers river map mileage. I have added for my miles across Lake Itasca (4.5 miles) and for the longer route I took across the three large northern Minnesota lakes (2.1 miles) along with the route I took at the river delta.
I did not add for: the city harbors I paddled into; two short sections I paddled twice; irregular routes common to stand up paddling; or routes taken to avoid tows and their wakes. My actual mileage was likely 1-2% higher if there was a way to accurately record all of these items.
I hope this answers everyone’s questions. Thank you all for the amazing support!
British adventurer Dave Cornthwaite launched his Source to Sea paddleboard trip down the river on June 20. According to his website, he figures he will take three months to reach the Gulf. His itinerary has him at the Gulf on September 10. Dave's progress page
UPDATE:

Floridian Matthew "Tumbleweed" Crofton launched his board on June 10. He is keeping an online journal. A good read - his Ten Hours on the Mississippi, about the less-than-illustrious beginning of his journey.
Earlier excerpts from Matt's blog:
July 15, 2011
Woke up to some bad rain and wind in Hastings. Been in this town for three days now. Got kicked out of the park by the sherrif because of "River Days" festival. Can't have a bum in the park! So I packed up my gear in the rain, climbed into the river, and 100 yards down ran into non other than Dave Cornthwaite! My friend from England that is paddleing the Mississippi as well.
June 29, 2011
Longest day on the river so far... 31 miles!
Yesterday when I was launching I looked up ahead and there, 100 yards ahead of me, was the 3rd runner up on the river, Dave Cornthwaite. I have to say I could not be happier losing my 2nd place postion to a better man. I knew eventually I'd be in last place because my disease does not let me go far before my feet and legs swell up. Dave and I camped out together, had a couple beers and told some great stories. Dave is an amazing guy doing amazing things and I look forward to seeing him at the end of the line... and I look forward to being his friend.
Read about his close call — being sucked under the gates — at Lock and Dam 16 in Muscatine in this news story.
UPDATE:
Sept. 27: Matt made it to the Gulf! |

Cliff Walls and Alex Poe, both 23 and hailing from Michigan, canoed a 17-ft metal canoe the length of the river for the “Friends of the Fishermen Fund,” a charity for families suffering the loss of fishing livelihoods from the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf. Follow their Mississippi "source-to-sea" trip on their blog. They completed the 2,350-mile trip in 54 days in mid-July.
From their blog:
This trip taught us two simple, major lessons. First, despite what the TV tells you, people are nice. Everyone along the river was so willing to give us a hand, and we will certainly remember this for the rest of our lives. Second, if you want to do something, do it. As the captain of the Emerald Isle taught us, “Life is like a dollar bill, you either spend it or you nickel and dime it away.”
We will never forget this trip, the people we met, the people who helped us, and the beauty of America’s river. What a hell of a ride.

Paul Schneider and his son kayaked 105 miles from below St. Louis to Cape Girardeau in June of 2009 in rising water. You can read his story Peacefully Adrift as the Mississippi River Just Rolls Along in the New York Times. "We hadn’t come to the Mississippi to prove or conquer anything. We just came to see what the most storied river in America had to offer a couple of supplicants with plastic boats and a week and a half with which to play." And, "As soon as you are in the water, you know immediately that you belong to the river. It commands every sense. There’s the sound a truly big river makes — not loud, but nonetheless vast and soothing, more like a wind over grasses than a waterfall." A good read. |
Texan Brian Righi kayaked down the Mississippi from Lake Itasca in late summer 2009. You can read about his adventures, including a hit-and-run by a powerboat near St. Louis, in these news articles. Watch for his book about the trip in late 2010 . Sept. 2, 2009 • Aug. 9, 2009 |

Eve Beglarian's River Project - Follow musician Eve Beglarian as she kayaked down the river, looking for Mississippi River music. (She loves churches too.)
From her blog:
I have developed an obsession with the Mississippi River: especially the impact of the river on the development of American culture. I am interested in how our relationship to the nature, geography, and ecology of the river is manifested in music, literature, and all the arts. Just as the Mississippi River is one of the defining natural features of the North American continent, so it has also been one of the defining features in the development of American culture: and of music in particular.
At this particular moment in American history, I have decided that I need to spend a year traveling the whole length of the Mississippi River starting from its source at Lake Itasca in Minnesota, meeting and interviewing people I find along the way, recording the sounds of the river, writing music as I travel, performing with and for members of the communities I find. more

great people that we will never forget, saw
things that most will never see, and experienced things that
only we can fully appreciate. The best way we can sum it up is, "Those
