Trucking to the End of the Mississippi River

Into our trucks, we took off on Highway 23 to drive to the end of the Mississippi River.    Venice, Louisiana is the last town on the river.  Then you would need a boat to travel about 23 more miles  before the river dumps into the Gulfof Mexico.

We did run into some friendly fishermen that caught their limit of tuna.

Jim caught some blue crab just walking along.

Look at the center of the gas pump.  This is our motto carried over from Alaska as we travel in the motor home.  Everything is an adventure, even the problems.

On our way back to New Orleans, we stopped at Fort Jackson.

This fort had a moat around it.

The green stuff on top of the water is algae and duck weed.  

There was even a draw bridge.

From Jim's advantage point, he is able to see the Mississippi River.

Notice this high school is built on stilts, just in case of flooding.
