How all the pics are possible.

A must have for any long distance trip. A solar panel and a 26000 mAh battery. I can charge my phone 4-5 times off the battery and recharge the battery from the sun. It works great.
Lunch day 4
24. juni 2017, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
So as I was paddling, I was looking for a place to stop and eat lunch. I saw this picnic table and realized it was the place. I've came 7.5 miles so far as have 15 to go still. It's a perfect day forLæs mere
Wow

Do you see what I see?
24. juni 2017, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Yes that really is a goat... In fact there are several. Does anyone know when goat season opens? Naw... I'd have to tow him all the way to camp. And besides, how would I "bag" him? Probably have toLæs mere
Long paddle tomorrow

End of a very long day

Got my hammock and tarp up, now time for some grub, Maybe I should have bagged that goat. Probably could eat the whole thing.
Camp day 4
24. juni 2017, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
So I've finally made it to camp. I'm exhausted! The first 7 miles this morning were pleasant, but around 12 someone turned on the wind. It wouldn't have been so bad on the river, but these longLæs mere
Supper
24. juni 2017, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Deer burger and Idaho potatoes.
Logs
25. juni 2017, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
I can't believe how many logs are floating. These power boats must keep several spare props handy. They race up and down the lake like it's nothing. I've hit several submerged logs that I couldn't seeLæs mere
Lake

It's beautiful this morning
Crossing
25. juni 2017, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Water is calm still. I'm glad I started early. This would be horrid with a stiff breeze.
Halfway
25. juni 2017, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
For the day that is
Bluff
25. juni 2017, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
I keep watching the cliffs for more goats, but haven't seen any more
Wind is back
25. juni 2017, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
About 20 til 10 the wind kicked up again. Boy am I glad I started early this morning.. I'm going straight across this. The waves are being pushed up about 1.5 feet towards the middle.
A very welcome sight
25. juni 2017, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
I'm very glad to see this. It means the end of these long stretches of open water for a few days. I need the break. This wind is a killer.
No cover
25. juni 2017, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Going without a cover tonight. Not supposed to be any rain so I'll go without my tarp. I'll have it ready in case I need it though. Just me and the stars tonight
So... What's for lunch?
25. juni 2017, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Chicken fried rice from Peking buffet and a&w root beer. Sounds delicious if you ask me. Especially seeing as it's the first I've eaten today. I skipped breakfast to get on the water earlier andLæs mere
Boy could I make some knives from that
25. juni 2017, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
To bad I don't have something big enough to carry it
Camp

Breakfast
26. juni 2017, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Hash browns with ham and cheese. The water is smooth and enticing. Can't wait to start the day. It will be my first time going through a lock
Cordell Hull lock
26. juni 2017, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
The lockmaster said I was his first kayak to ever lock through. It's 400 get long and drops you 60 feet in 12 minutes. It was really cool. On to old hickory....
