Picture of the Day: Boathouse
Wish I had a boathouse like this where I could retreat to on these hot days. This picture was taken near Stoddard, Wisconsin in June 2009. Boathouse on the Upper Mississippi River
Picture of the Day: McGregor
McGregor (Iowa) has the nickname "Pocket City" and one look at the picture below will help you understand why. Tucked into a narrow valley that extends westward from the Mississippi River, the landscape where the town was established has helped ensure that McGregor will remain a small town.

Song of the Day: Mississippi
It's the heart of the summer, and the Mississippi River is running like molasses, at least in the South, just like John Phillips (formerly of the Mamas and Papas) sings in this song from 1969. Listen to more Songs of the Day here.

A popular place for fishing, the Point is a small triangle of land that juts out into the Mississippi River (called Lake Pepin in this stretch) at Lake City, Minnesota. This picture was taken August, 2010. See more Pictures of the Day here. The Point; Lake City, Minnesota
