Hi my friends!

For those who live in the area – an invitation! Join us if you can! If you’ve seen me present on Roadtrip with a Raindrop before, this is changed up a bit with more emphasis on the natural world that the Mississippi River nurtures and sustains. It will include the video and a book signing. It’s FREE but you do need to call to register. Hope to see some of you there!

Love, Gayle

Hello my friends!

I have been hired to provide content and photographs for an amazing new travel-planning website about the Mississippi River. Here’s a sample – an essay and photos called “Local Voices.”

The website is a massive project that has required 18 months of work and the efforts of hundreds of people and I am excited to be a part of it! Let me know what you think!

EXCITING NEWS FROM SERENDIPITY!!

Hello, my Friends!

I’ve got some VERY exciting news to share!

I have signed a contract to cruise on the Mississippi River aboard the American Queen Steamboat!

If you aren’t familiar, it is a stunningly gorgeous ship – the largest steamboat in the world, with a capacity for 436 overnight passengers! I’ll be an onboard presenter – sharing the adventures of our little raindrop with river-loving guests from all over the world.

I’ll be traveling with her from July 23 – 29 on the gorgeous piece of river between Dubuque, Iowa and St. Paul, Minnesota, and again on the return trip, presenting the Multimedia Slide Show and signing copies of “Roadtrip with a Raindrop: 90 Days Along the Mississippi River.”
