tumblelikeyougiveadamn: Dreaming of a Huck Finn-style adventure on the Mississippi, a young couple are instead afoul of the law. - Star Tribune Claire Boucher and William Gratz had their sights set on the southern reaches of the Mississippi River when they packed their chickens, a sewing machine and 20 pounds of potatoes into a houseboat they crafted from scratch. This is my favorite Star Tribune story ever. I love the part where the Minneapolis park police are trailing them for 3 weeks while they tie off to trees and hop ashore to “gather supplies from Craigslist.” We gotta get these kids to tell their story at the next Give & Take.
