Jul 28 - Update on my cousins who rock!

I don't want to tell their story for them, but I just think my cousins, are so cool! I got their e-mail update about their effort to kayak the entire length of the Mississippi from Minnesota to Louisiana (I first mentioned it on July 22nd. ) They are in Iowa now.

Here's an entertaining excerpt from their email update of the trip:

Who thought Iowa was such a big state? Last night we pulled into Keokuk, Iowa in the howling wind and pouring rain! There was a crowd at the "boat club" (really a bar/restaurant) that seemed like they were there to welcome us. They were all offering to buy us dinner, drive us around town, put us up, etc. One guy, Jim, works for the local AM newsradio station and he interviewed us for his show. We were on this morning "prime time" at 6:00 in Keokuk, Iowa! We're famous!

Keep it up Barb and Pete!
