Props to three guys who are kayaking the Mississippi from St. Paul to New Orleans!

Melody and I met with these intrepid voyagers and talked about details and motivations for what they are doing. They too are raising funds for an organization. They plan to raise $20,000 for International Justice Mission, an organization that is working to end slavery (specifically in the sex trade). These guys were fun to talk to and have big goals for the next two months.

If you have a minute, check out their awesome web-site, "upstreambattle.org." They will be posting pictures and detailing some of the stretch that Melody and I will be doing. They said already that the locks were easy to navigate and the lockmasters were quite friendly. So that's good news.
