In the Summer of 2014 Adventourists, Kurt A. and Jeremy Baldwin will embark on a 2-week research journey following the spinal cord of the United States, The Mississippi River from Northern Minnesota to New Orleans. We need your help!
Kurt and Jeremy firmly believe that "life is for the living" and are leaving behind their friends and family to seek fortune and glory on America's Great River Road. Their goal is to discover this central corridor of American History and Culture and to reclaim it from those misguided individuals who write it off as simply "Fly Over Country".
This journey will encompass any and all aspects of Americana, but will especially focus on the history and evolution of America's Music, which has profound Roots along the Mississippi River. They intend to walk the roads and paths that many men and women have tread before, looking for evidence of their lives. Crucial musical figures will include Bob Dylan, Robert Johnson, Son House, Mose Allison and Sam Cooke.
Kurt A. and Jeremy are looking for like-minded partners to help offset some of the looming costs for this journey of discovery. Help them make their dreams come true with a donation either large or small to the Highway 61 Re-driven Research Fund. Your money will help offset personal expenses like gas, accommodations and crucial equipment needed to document this trip of a lifetime.
As a token of their thanks for your generosity, Kurt and Jeremy have created a series of unique Thank You perks available at different giving levels. All will be welcome to track their adventure via several web outlets as they make their way South on their quest.
