After a nice and interesting time in Texas we got out on the road again and we were heading for Mississippi. In Mississippi we only wanted to make a quick stop and we thought that it would be nice to see the famous Mississippi river. The river starts at a lake called Lake Itasca and is 3730 kilometers long. The river, just like many other rivers, is sometimes flooded even though it´s usually prevented. The trip to Mississippi went smooth and easy and we arrived to the Mississippi River Bridge at noon. When we came to the bride we were a little bit amazed over the big construction so we just had to stop and take a picture. We found a parking next to the end of the bridge so we parked our car and began to look for a nice place to take a picture. When we had come down to the water Linus pulled up his camera and took a picture. Farnam thought it would be funny to shove Linus down into the river so that’s what he did. Linus just fell down to the river whit camera and everything. However it wasn´t really as funny as Farnam thought it would be since it was very much stream at this place of the river and Linus hadn´t any chance to get to land again. We ran after Linus that disappeared down the river and at the same time I dialed 911. I told the emergency services what was going on and they said that they would go out whit two rescue boats to first pick me and Farnam up so that we could show the way to Linus. After just two minutes we heard the sound of boat engines and two rescue boats showed up upstream. I and Farnam jumped in to a boat each and we went at top speed down the river. I was really worried about Linus!!! However we saw Linus floating in the water after just five minutes and he seemed to have it kind of nice in the water splashing around. After we had picked up Linus we was driven back to our housecar we just bought a hot dog at the hot dog stand on the parking and then we chilled for the rest of the day at our housecar.
That’s all from us here at the Mississippi river! Peace out!
