| AN OUTDOORSMAN’S JOURNAL | River of Change MARK WALTERS COLUMNIST Six months after I graduated from high school, I was a deckhand on board The Universal Trader on the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. In 1987, I tried canoeing up the Mississippi; I put 988 miles behind me before succumbing to an injury. This past hunting season was 52 falls since my first duck camp on “Old Man River”.
