The Mississippi river starts in Minnesota and runs through 10 states .

The name "Mississippi" comes from the Anishinabe people (Ojibwe Indians). They called the river "Messipi" or "Mee-zee-see-bee," which means "Big River " or "Father of Waters."

The water is refreshing this time of year

Impressive river

If you look to the right crossing over the Mississippi...you see DEATH VALLEY! Can't wait for football season!!!
