So I found a nice place to land around 1945. Got camp made just before dark, I was kinda pushing it though. Made 7.2 miles in just under 1.5 hours. The river pushed me about 2 miles an hour without any paddling, my top speed was 7.6 mph. I'll put up some pics of my camp tomorrow.
I saw several deer right beside the water and they just watched me paddle by. Also an otter swam along beside for several minutes. He kept popping up to get a better look at me. I couldn't get a good pic of him thoughRead more
So I woke up around midnight. I feel rested but am filled with thoughts about the remainder of the trip. While I would have liked to have company, there is something to be said for spending the night alone in nature. Listening to the crickets and frogs, lull one into a sense of peacefulness that cannot be explained. While I know that there are people around, it feels totally secluded and that contributes to the blissful harmony of nature. Dealing with the remains of tropical storm Cindy is going to be challenging over the next couple off days, but I feel like it will be doable. Hopefully when I get to Celina there will be enough cell service to upload.Read more
Kim Slaughter That's cool especially about the otter
