Canoeing the Mississippi

We met a fellow named Charles McVie from Mobile,
Alabama, canoeing the Mississippi.

He started at Lake Itasca -- the headwaters of the Mississippi -- and is paddling to the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana. He made 42 Miles this day. Did I mention he is 72 years old?  I think in a previous life he was a French Canadian voyageur. He travels with his dog Scout, a Skipper key. The dog rides on top of the canvas cover. He sits on the floor or bottom of the canoe and uses a kayak paddle.


Charlie took a video of US, and texted it to us.
  Here's what we look like on the move!
