This scale model of the Mississippi River is found on Mud Island in Memphis, TN. It costs $6 per car to get to this part of the island, but it's well worth the price. Visitors can also take the monorail from a parking lot across the canal, but that cost is $4 per person. If you want to tour the river museum, it is an additional $10 per person. We spent about 90 minutes just taking the river walk following the twists and turns of the scale model and reading about the history along the way. It was fun to remember our riverboat cruise between Natchez and New Orleans many years ago.
The story began with a 5-week journey in a 1997 RV, from Richmond, Va to Utah and back, July 23 through August 27, 2011. The next step included the sale of that RV and the purchase of a larger, classier RV we call Princess. Now we have changed RVs again. We sold the Princess to a family of 5, and purchased a 2017 Class C, smaller than the Princess but some better features as well as some limitations storage wise. And so our adventures continue.
