Lincoln's Journey Lands in Memphis
The Lincoln's Journey crew enjoyed two days in the southern city of Memphis, Tenn. The boat arrived Monday, Sept. 22, at Mud Island River Park. The crew enjoyed some famous Memphis Barbecue and a visit Beale Street that evening. Tuesday, Sept. 23, the boat was available to visitors throughout the day. More than 350 students came to see the boat and another 200 or so people also came to see us. We enjoyed the Mud Island River Park so much, especially the park's River Walk. The River Walk is one of the most unique representations of the Mississippi River in the world! It is a 5-block long replica of the lower Mississippi river, from Cairo, IL, to New Orleans, LA. Each 30" stride is equivalent to one mile on the actual river. The park also has an amazing Mississippi River museum.
