Wednesday, July 11, 2012
Luke Taylor and Craig Loss, and their dog, Jane, head under the Bill Emerson Memorial Bridge on Tuesday morning in Cape Girardeau. Taylor and Loss are making a 2,300-mile trek on the Mississippi River from Itasca, Minn., to New Orleans. They are raising funds for the not-for-profit Local Livelihood, which promotes the growing of specialty coffee as a way for families overseas to make a living.
