The 220 miles to Memphis is the longest stretch.

I don't know if you're going to do a pleasure run or delivery run but the Ohio should be quite enjoyable, other than all the locks, while the Mississippi less so and more of a challenge.
Thank you for your post BandB. We Have been in the Mississippi down around New Orleans several times and we are not looking forward to that part of the trip at all. We are going to start to Arkansas the end of August (more or less...and don't have to rush it).
