Rowing Toward Redemption on the Mississippi
Trapper Haskins will share his 2,300-mile journey down the Mississippi River that evolved from a 90-day honeymoon into a sixteen-year endeavor. In 2002, Haskins and his wife began their trip in an 18-foot wooden rowboat from the river’s headwaters, but they were unable to complete the final 100 miles due to river traffic and exhaustion but later tackled the final 100 miles as part of a family adventure.
