 Well, two men have set out to beat the Guinness World Record of traveling the length of the Mississippi River by canoe as a two man team. The goal is to go from start to finish in 14 days. Kevin Enkelkamp and Nathaniel Lastinger make up the two man team which set out to break the record this morning. The record was set by Kevin's late uncle who passed away in June of 2017. The team will paddle 24-7 until they reach the end of their trip. The current record set back in 2003 since at 18 days four hours and 53 minutes. With calm waters tonight, as they entered Bemidji, the hope is the conditions will help set the pace. Pretty much on par, you know, that right now kind of tonight is going to tell the tale. We've got to head through Lake Bemidji, head through Cass Lake. First thing tomorrow morning we'll be on Lake Winnebagoches and so if the wind can lay down for us, we'll have a great evening. For more information about the expedition, you can find them on Facebook by searching Mississippi River Expedition or visit their website at riverrecord.us.
