Started off the break this year with a wedding in NYC which was quickly followed by a funeral in Buffalo. From there Hannah and I made our way across the Great Lakes to Macomb, Illinois to visit friends and family. From here we will travel up to Wisconsin for a Blue Ox, our new favorite bluegrass festival. The cross-country race will settle down once we get back to Star Lake Camp in a week. It has been one heck-of-a trip so far, let's hope things go smoothly from here on out! Until next time, here is a poem from g.s. coverdale about the Mighty Mississippi:
The River
Muddy water
Spinning deep
Run your course
Hide your keep
As little cities
Take from you
'Neath the guise
Of Nature's due
Antioch On The Mississippi - Werner Pipkorn, 1999
