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

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 forLue lisää

Do you see what I see?
24. kesäkuuta 2017, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 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 toLue lisää
Long paddle tomorrow

End of a very long day

Camp day 4
24. kesäkuuta 2017, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 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 longLue lisää
Kaye BurkeOh my goodness.... are you going to be somewhere Dewayne and I could meet you and bring you sunscreen?

Deer burger and Idaho potatoes.
Logs
25. kesäkuuta 2017, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 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 seeLue lisää

Wind is back
25. kesäkuuta 2017, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 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.
John RichardsThe logs are dangerous in a boat, especially at high speeds. Paddle slowly....
A very welcome sight
25. kesäkuuta 2017, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 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. kesäkuuta 2017, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 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. kesäkuuta 2017, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 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 andLue lisää

Breakfast

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. kesäkuuta 2017, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 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....
