Have you seen the mississippi River

I have crossed back and forth over the Mississippi on I70 many times, on vacations and accompanying young people on church sponsored trips. I have visited St. Louis. My daughter got to go to it's source on her honeymoon. She bought me a book about her current home state, Minnesota, and it has that location in it.

I've not only seen it, I've driven across it, many many times. I can't tell you where they all were because I've literally crossed it so many times. It's not that big of a deal, really. It's just a big muddy looking river.

I've seen it in New Orleans and around St. Louis. It's amazing to be sure, but I did not go just for the purpose of seeing it. I have travelled to New Orleans many times because it's just a few hours drive from where I live and such a cool place to visit. I have not been back there since Katrina hit. I am almost afraid to see it again. I was very pleased that my husband and I spent our fourth wedding anniversary in New Orleans in March 2005 and we spent a lot of time wandering around the French Quarter so we had good and fairly recent memories of it before the storm. When I went to St. Louis it was for a family wedding when I was around 10 years old and what I remember more than the river is the Gateway Arch, but the Mississippi River is truly amazing to behold.

I've actually seen it from many states and even was lucky enough to take a boat ride down it at one point.

I have seen the Mississippi River several times. We often drive cross country from West Virginia to Oregon. We have to cross the Mississsippi River. It is a beautiful river. I bet it is scary when it begins to rise. Are you in any danger of high water at your home?

I live in Illinois, really close to st. louis, so yeah...see it all the time, drive over it all the time!

I have crossed at st louis and at memphis and I have seen it in Mississippi it is very slow and deceiving for such a powerful river. It is no wonder so many great stories are told about it

I never saw it in person, but have seen pictures of it. I would love to see it one day. It is quite beautiful, from what I can gather by the pics. I don't live anywhere near it to go there just like this.

I used to live in Chicago so saw it a few times when driving West to Kansas and other places on that side of the river. I've also been to New Orleans a few times and seen the river there. I was somewhat surprised the river didn't look wider, but later found out that it can be very narrow in some places.
