So Loved your photos in Cape. Loved the journey. What you said about the river being three is so true. Last year, I had the chance to be at Lake Itasca, MN, Le Claire, Iowa-Quad Cities, Memphis and then Tunica, MS, and Pittsburgh where the Ohio starts its journey. So your description was so reflective of what I saw.
Thanks for the update - after leaving the Army, my small family settled in Memphis for 5 years, living a block south of Union Avenue downtown. We were three at the time, become 4 when my youngest daughter Katie was born in Memphis. When we moved back to my hometown of Santa Fe, Katie was talking and had the cutest southern drawl, saying things like "five" and "mine" in the midsouth accent. June is truly the best month in Memphis, but football season (I was coaching back then) meant hot summer practices and two-a-days in the August Memphis heat....
I did not know that, Steve. Santa Fe is also a beautiful city. I was just there with my cousin from Albuquerque. We had a nice time, but the Pueblo was closed for a ceremony.
"For the longest time you thought Beale Street was in Kansas City." Joni was singing about Beale Street in 1975 (Hejira, Furry Sings the Blues). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BF4nnl4c0I There was also this mostly unsuccessful jam on it in 1987 with Joni, Herbie Hancock (piano), as well as Bobby McFerrin (vocals), Wayne Shorter (soprano saxophone), David Sanborn (alto saxophone), and Larry Klein (bass guitar). ("There were no rehearsals" - LOL - they could have used a few.) Keep on paddling! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGJyjFhCgkE

Be safe as you meander down to NOLA!

I've only kept contact with Mac, so it's nice to read about your journey and learn about your life as well!

Thanks for all the nice links, Lawrence. I know, it's a little embarrassing to have thought that Beale Street was in KC, but so it goes...
Didn't mean to embarrass you!
