Mud Island River Park

For park day we went to Mud Island River Park. Here is the group that went. Christine, Valorie, Catherine, Lindsey, Jamie, Susan and me.

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 "1,000" mile journey concludes at the Gulf of Mexico, a one acre enclosure that holds 1.3 million gallons of water.
