gone on the river
one thousand miles
July 12, 2022
This barge doesn't look like much, but it's moored in an interesting location. This is mile 341. That means that I have gone a thousand miles from Itasca to this point.
Cue the Proclaimers, with a few tweaks:
"Well I would float five hundred miles,
and I would float five hundred more,
just to be the man who floats a thousand miles
down Mississippi's shores
Bah dap bah!
Bah dap bah!
Budda bum budda bum budda bum budda budda bum..."
