Sunset by the Mississippi

Utahns haven't the foggiest idea of the immensity of the Mississippi River. First time I crossed it was on the way out here back in October of 2006 as we were hunting for a hotel in La Crosse, Wisconsin. We ended up crossing the river about 9 times that night since Burger King had some sort of patty flipping seminar in town which booked every hotel in the county. Since then I've developed some sort of Mississippi river fedish that I can not get over. There was plenty of river to go around the days we were in Nauvoo, as the prior week's storms caused flooding the likes of which hadn't been seen in decades. And the mosquitos came rolling in. We had a great time with Jennifer, Nathen and Annie in Nauvoo, it was a lot of fun to go on a road trip.
