I am from Cape Girardeau Grew up on North Spanish yousta walk down to the mouth of Sloan creek and fish every day. You didnt see many recreational vehicles because during storm season, well you saw. Next time don’t stop on the Illinois side to camp because the river has a bias in that section and the ILL side is lower meaning that flash flooding effects it more than the Missouri side.
Also seeing Schnucks, Broussard’s, and the wall gave me some keen nostalgia tyty.
My 2nd or 3rd cousin died in that river and i live 12-15 mins away
I that the same as "Cape Jordo" that the old timers talk about?
welcome to my home town bro of Cape Girardeau. if you dont beleive me. then look at my address of 1310 sonnet dr
You don’t even know Cape Girardeau.. Bro, GTFO
haha your lucky cause this year up north its snowing, it was throughout april
Love the videos so much!! Truly inspiring! Can’t wait for the AMA can you tell us when you’ll be doing it? And also what is that funkyyy tune!!!!!
wow… why didn’t I never realized this wasn’t happening right now..
I’ll let myself out
if anyone cares, Rush Limbaugh was born there.
No traps…..???
Paddle up it 😀
Another great video.
I took note of your comment about how the Missouri River changes the nature of the Mississippi. In actuality, the Missouri has comparable volume of water as the upper Mississippi, so it’s not just a tributary. When you were up in the Arch, you could have seen the Mississippi is browner on the Missouri side because the waters don’t fully merge together until past downtown StL. The early settlers described the Missouri as “too muddy to drink, but too wet to plow”.
Hi Peter, I’ve seen all of your Mississippi River videos, but I
wonder at anytime, did you flip over? How did you deal with the
wake from larger boats and ships? Thanks.
I’ve been to Cape Girardeau twice the first time I went It felt like we were being baked in a oven because it was so hot and then it rained on us the second time however was way better because it was a lot cooler and got to shop around some more.
I occasionally go jugging for catfish on Miss. River in Cape with son-in-law. Used to do it on Miss River after work when I lived in Blytheville, too. Fun but always mindful of safety! Never take refuge under trees during storms!
Oorah!
GOOD VIDEO ENJOYED WATCHING IT, I LIVE IN CAPE GIRARDEAU AND I WORK ON THE RIVER ON THE BOATS THAT CAUSED THE BIG WAKES FOR YOU GUYS.
Well i live in Detroit Mi, me and my wife and son are moving to cape in december i hope i like it. my wife has family there but i know no one hope i meet some cool people there!
Whenever theres a thunder storm u dont supposed to be under trees nd the missouri river gets flodded easy
Ya got guts riding the Mississippi River in a canoe.
haha that would be awesome, if you wish to do that just let me know and you have a partner. i do love your focus though, although i am not sure you would like it in Canada that much, you like to go to all the towns and explain the culture, while here you would bike 300km with no towns in between. But alas come to Canada and go on a bike trip ( and let me tag along :D)
Bruh Missouri isn’t a southern state hahah
"Hey it the two yellow canoes…"
i live in cape giraduea i live up a hill from the mississippi river me aand my brother always wlak down there and stick are feet in the water but that river is very dangeous
not a weird question at all. we tied it up at a boat landing and brought along our valuables. From our experience on the river, we weren’t to concerned with someone stealing the canoes.
Is this the latest episode?? I’m planning on doing this trip next summer starting in Alma, Wi. I have watched all the episodes so far, just wondering if I’m missing any after this one??
right lol
I live in cape
would love to do something like this one day. as a st. louisian tho who only knows the river as being big and angry something bigger than a canoe would be preferred
Ok, thanks for responding. These videos help in my planning. They’re also fun to watch. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. Hope all is well. Good luck to ya guys.
so cool, thanks for sharing this, curious to how good of shape you guys got in on this trip?
I live 15mins away from Cape Girardeau mo
my cousin died in that river becusae he was in a boat and was being stupid hit those red big things
Alton Illinois, birthplace of the great Miles Davis
This is my retirement dream goal! Planning on kayaking down some long creeks this summer, and maybe the Rum River in MN. I love your videos!
this series hasnt gotten old yet. dont worry guys keep it up you’re doing great
You deserve more viewers. Love your show.
Everyone who comes to cape loves it! You are welcome back any time
My hometown!❤️
Hick town. . .
I found this vid, because I live in Cape Girardeau. This vid is awesome, and thx for the Cape Girardeau shout out! Lol
you wanna know why there’s nobody jet ski on the river because it will swallow you up and never spit you out your on a river that has an underground river under it.i’ve seen trees get sucked under the water when a whirlpool pops up out of nowhere and drag it to God knows where glad ya’ll made it off the river safe.
I work on the river and live in cape girardeau missouri. I’ve seen you guys going down the river and before watching your videos the first time I saw you guys doing, I was like look at these idiots lol. But watching all of these made it look fun and you guys not looking like idiots. I’d do it myself but I work and live out here on a boat and after riding this boat for a month the last thing I would want to do is get right back out, especially not in a canoe. Anyway good job on these videos there DEFENTLY worth watching more than once.
Good thing you got off the river during that storm! Glad that you didn’t get hit by a falling tree as well!
Hey I’m from Cape Girardeau!!!
Who’s filming at 5:03?
Omg lol I remember seeing you there
I liv e in cape 🙂
if anyone cares, Rush Limbaugh was born there.
Weird question, what do you guys do with the canoes when you went for good and groceries on the land?
