The Greybeard Adventurer strikes again! Dale Sanders is once again the oldest man in the world to paddle the entire length of the Mississippi River from source to sea.

Three weeks ago, Dale and his crew passed through Vicksburg for a spell on his way to making history. Yesterday, he celebrated the end of an 87-day, 2,340 mile journey from Lake Itasca, Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico.

The entire adventure was captured by Zak Rivers, in association with Wilderness Mindset, to create a documentary on the remarkable man known as ‘Greybeard’. A GoFundMe has been set up to help fund the project, and we cannot wait to see the finished film.
