I was going to call it a Cardinal day and then I googled the Missouri State bird which is the Eastern Bluebird. The ride down the Mississippi was a gentle rollercoaster. Highway 61 South proved to be a perfect day. Rolling turns all the way down to the Missouri delta. Up and down side to side. Small river towns every 15 to 20 miles and a rev settling 55 miles an hour. Weaved in and out of this gorgeous landscape for 250 miles over the next 7 hours. With more than 1000 songs on my current playlist the new Sena 20S gave me a crystal clear soundtrack as I follow the river down to Memphis….
