Rather than telling you how to spend very moment of your trip, I offer a few suggestions to help you think about the variety of ways to experience the Mississippi Valley. The posts in this section identify a theme and offer ideas for things to do that follow that theme. I’ve provided more detail on these attractions on the relevant city pages and have provided links to those pages, as well as to each site’s own webpage (if they have one). If you follow any of these itineraries, let me know how it goes. If you have other ideas for organizing a trip along the Mississippi, I’d love to hear them.

Hey, Just found, read and finished you Lansing to Le Claire. Being a 78 year old that has followed the Mississippi, up and down, all my life, I thought I had little more to learn about the cities, villages and crossroads along the river. Not So!
Absolutly loved your book. Great history, great descriptions, great humor. Just top notch!
Being raised a mile from the river on the Bad Axe and living in La Crosse and Onalaska most of my life am looking forward to the Lansing to Hastings book.
Thanks for the great writing.
