The Mighty Mississippi is America’s second longest river and, arguably, the most important highway in the US. Any blockages can cause big trouble, so Riley’s going to New Orleans to help clear out a massive barge that’s become stuck onshore. He works with a team of salvage cowboys to get the barge out of the way, doing whatever it takes, including risk being crushed by three hundred tons of shifting metal. Riley also checks in on some other crews helping to keep the Mississippi clear – a dredge boat and a mat-laying unit. But this barge will be his biggest challenge – there’s plenty of heavy lifting and some hair-raising close calls that put Riley right in the path of danger.
