Virtual experience: Quapaw Canoe BEAMing on the Sunflower River (video)

Cool new virtual travel adventure: come paddle up the Sunflower River through the middle of downtown Clarksdale with Quapaw Canoe Company. They're stopping to visit the "Spirit of the Tree" that they'll craft into a dugout canoe.

It's the first in a year-long virtual Backyard Excursion series, which combines virtual travel with learning and backyard-adventuring for all ages.

John Ruskey & Mark River are our guides, and Allie's behind the camera sharing your comments and questions with them -- pop in and say hi!
