Kayak on the Mississippi
This was a very impressive trip I took with Troy on the Mississippi river just below one of the locks at Hastings. On one side was the railroad where we watched a train go by and on the other side of the river we saw a tugboat bring six barges into the lock to go upstream. To see them from the water surface makes them a heck of a lot bigger than what they seem like from the river’s banks.
We kept well clear of the barges – they have such a shallow draft that they are notorious for having the water suck you right under them with the flow of the river.

The contemplation of the works of the Creator, is the highest
delight of the rational mind. In them we read, as in a volume fraught
with endless wonder, the power and the glory of that Being, who, in the
formation of atoms and of worlds alike, has displayed unfathomable wisdom.

High School, South Africa"
