Sorry, Huck Finn there’s a new Mississippi speed record on the country’s longest waterway. Paddling a Wenonah Minnesota 4 canoe, canosists Scott Miller, Judson Steinback, Paul Cox, and Wally Werderich paddled all 2,300 miles of the Mississippi from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico in just 16 days, 20 hours, and 16 minutes, besting the previous.
