Wild Mississippi

Episode 1

Sun, Feb 12, 2012

Although the Mississippi is often associated with warm Dixieland, its huge basin starts in vast northern territories and freezes with plenty of snow and ice. It provides rich but unforgiving, largely rather pristine hunting and fishing grounds for bears, wolves, lynxes, eagles, otters, owls and humans. When it all melts in spring, huge floods are inevitable.
