Has anybody done the Great River Road along the Mississippi from beginning to end? We're just starting to think about a southbound trip this fall and I was wondering if any of this well traveled group have undertaken the journey and what was your experience like? I just requested a map and tourist info from https://experiencemississippiriver.com/ so I'll see what comes from that.
We'd do open jaw flights and a one-way car rental; at least two weeks, probably closer to three. Would spend multiple nights in Minneapolis, St Louis, Memphis, New Orleans. Otherwise, just stopping in smaller towns and visiting any unusual roadside attractions we come across.
I'm a little concerned about what's supposed to be a bad hurricane season this year, but DH has always been a MN Vikings fan, so I'd like to time the trip to coincide with one of their home games for him, so fall it is. We will just have to stay flexible and be willing to reverse course if a major storm is coming.
