bayou cruiser Posted August 3, 2011 #2 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Wow, this is amazing and happening right in my backyard. I've just read the website and trying to figure out where I can catch a glimpse of this record breaking trip along the Mighty Mississippi and cheer Alex along. Thanks for posting.

cruzbaby Posted August 3, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted August 3, 2011 He is in Baton Rouge today, figuring by Friday he'll be in New Orleans! I have some Cruise friends who are going to watch for him as they leave port. He will be on the channels from NO to the Gulf over the weekend so hopefully cruise passengers can cheer loud!! Maybe you can catch a glimpse, he loves to meet people along the way!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
