Summer is Missouri means humid air, fresh blackberries and lazy rivers. With my grandfather's 1971 river log in hand, I'm headed back to the Gasconade River in southern Missouri to recreate a portion of one of his long canoe trips. Can the river teach me things about my family\u2019s Missouri heritage? By exploring the river, its history, and my grandfather's connection to it, I endeavor to better understand myself.\n\nFeaturing: Maria Doerr, Cyrille Jourdain, Christine Doerr, Karen Doerr Hiatt, John Bradbury\nProducer: Maria Doerr\nSpecial Thanks: Claire Schoen\n\nMusic: \n\u201cDown in the River to Pray\u201d Jean Banwarth, 2016\n\u201cEbeneezer\u201d Black Twig Pickers, 2012\n\u201cAces and Twos\u201d The Devil Makes Three, 2009\n\u201cThought Soup\u201d Doctor Turtle, 2016\n\u201cKing of the Road\u201d Roger Miller \n\u201cMid Day Blues\u201d Tate Peterson, 2015
