Day 73 on the Mississippi River

November 2, 2021

Tuesday

Tent camping on Kickapoo Island

RM 257.5

1084 miles completed

I paddled about 25 miles.

It was a very nice day. Everything went well. I would have gotten more miles but I slept late and enjoyed the comfort of my motel room. I woke at 8:00 and didn’t start paddling until almost 10:30.

I called lock 24 when I was 2000 yards out and he said he would get it ready for me. When I got to the gate it opened and I paddled right on in.

I paddled till 5:30 and found a campsite on Kickapoo Island.
