It is where the Mississippi River starts the long voyage to the gulf of Mexico.

It is where you can walk across the rocks where the mighty river starts.

It is where I remember colors.

It is where I remember happy times.

It is where I remember laughing.

It is where I can think about life.

It is where my family seems to be at peace.

It is where I can see the beginnings and the ends.

It is where everything is peaceful.

It is where County Road 48 zigzags and takes you on an adventure.

It is where you can get lost.

It is where you can find your self.

It is where you can walk barefooted and feel the mud push between your toes.

It is where you can have a picnic and watch the beauty of nature.

It is where the sky is clear.
