Memphis: Ked Ebersole, 10, leaps over a scale model of the Mississippi River on Mud Island River Park in Memphis. The model condenses the last 1,000 miles of the lower river to about five blocks. If the river traveled in a straight line it would only be about 700 miles. Also present are Ebersol's sister Keturah, 7, and his brother Kelton, 5, all visiting from Pennsylvania.
