Mitch Spence level-classic July 21, 2010

Thank you very much, Ken. In my head, I thought before I went, that one would be able to see the mighty Mississippi from all along this road. It's there, of course, but it's on the other side of the high levee and you have to climb up there to get a view of it. #8778280
