Mississippi River Walk: May 27-June 24, 2026

Welcome to our next Walking Wednesday Wrap!

These past few weeks we have preparing for a family vacation and I almost missed getting this up. Luckily, I checked the calendar prior to leaving.

Here are our monthly updates, or a little less than since I won’t be around to make them. A gal needs a little rest from time to time 😀

These are the miles my bestie and I have covered this last month. We are making great progress and are ahead of schedule, which just spurs us on to try and out pace each other.

I am happy to report that I am outpacing my goal of 383 miles in fifteen weeks (see more here). Several planned days at Disneyland are certainly helping. I am a little nervous that my vacation will hurt my pace, but I’m happy to report that I am 10 days ahead of schedule. If all else fails, being 10 days ahead of schedule should allow me to still meet my goal. 🎉🎉🎉

Here’s a look at some of the places we have visited this month on our virtual walk along the Mississippi River. We have also learned about the Effigy Mounds National Monument and aquatic and wetland plants.
