I would highly reccomend a trip on one of them. The Mississippi River is awesome to travel, daytime or night time, there are some amazing sights and places out there and TONS of history! My Captain is a history buff on the Mississippi River and I find his stories so facinating.

One day, maybe when I retire, I would love to take a trip on one of them. I think they stop so you can visit all the towns along the river and that is something I would love to do.
