RIDE, BABY, RIDE! Out here on the Great River Road that runs along the mighty Mississippi River in southwestern Wisconsin things are wide open and flowing. There is no traffic…few people…occasional rest stops along the way…big sky…churning river water…and warm summer breezes. . .mmm, aaaahh!
That’s Iowa over there…or maybe Minnesota depending on how far north I am at the moment, but it doesn’t really matter. . .all these borders are fine and dandy–it is more fun to imagine the borderless time out here…surely it was rougher…fur traders, frontiersmen, ne’er-do-wells. . .and gringos just like me making their way here and there soakin’ up the sweet open vibes, thinkin’ about nuthin’, sippin’ refreshing beverages, snappin’ pix, and movin’ along.
The Mississippi River is massive: wide and long. . .it was here long before us, and it will be here long after we are gone. What are we doin’ here? Where are we goin’? No matter as long as we enjoy the ride.
I send you wanderin’ vibes from the banks of the Mississippi River here in southwestern Wisconsin. . .feel them. . .they will have you smilin’ all day long.
