On June 11, 2022, I had the privilege of joining two Missouri legislators for a flight along the Mississippi River from Grafton, Illinois, south to the Ohio River at Cairo. The flight was arranged through the efforts of two terrific, non-partisan conservation groups: the National Caucus of Environmental Legislators and Lighthawk. In this gallery, I’ve posted a few of the pictures from the 200+ miles of the Mississippi we flew over.
