From the ankle deep headwaters of Itasca State Park, across massive lakes named Winnibigoshish and Pepin, through 29 Army Corps locks and dams, travel with the author as he shares the river with tug boats pushing quarter-mile-long barges and eventually reaches the Gulf of Mexico via the increasingly popular Atchafalaya River and alligator swollen Hog Bijou.
