We were out on the ohio river yesterday and it was probably the best it's been all year. So we ran up to Laughery creek to check it out as we have never been up that creek yet. On the way back to the launch ramp we passed this boat on the ohio river and it had a wrap on it that said world record attempt. So we stopped up ahead and waited for them to catch up. We started talking to them and found out that these guys are attempting the longest Jon boat ride. They said that the old one was 700+ miles and they were going to try to double that. They are traveling from Cincinnati, Ohio to New Orleans or at least they are going to try to. Never know what you will run into on the river that's for sure.


If you're down on the mississipi river you may just have a chance to run into these guys. Here is a webpage that shows what their entire trip plans are. The boat is a 1968 Jon Boat.
