This is from John Ruskey, Quapaw Canoe Company, Helena Outpost:

Helena, please join us in giving Brett Rogers & the Old Man River Project a Deep South welcome to town!  From Canada and Australia in partnership with the Lower Mississippi Riverkeeper.  Brett and his crew of five will be working on their 32 foot authentic York Boat ANNIE and resupplying for the final push in their 4-month expedition down the Mississippi from our Canoe & Kayak headquarters at 411 Ohio Street.  The beautiful ANNIE will be stationed on location until push-off from the Helena Boat Launch Wednesday or Thursday.
