Tent camping on an island
RM 232
1110 miles completed
I paddled about 24 miles.
It was another very nice day. I slept till 8:00. It was cold and I was warm in my sleeping bag. So I got another late start.
I called lock 25 when I was 2000 yards out and he said it would be about a 45 minute wait. It turned out to be an hour and a half.
I paddled till dark. Mary Ann found a sandy beach on an island and I stopped there.
It turned out to be a nice spot.
St. Louis on the horizon! Wishing you good weather and (reasonably) fast currents!
Keep paddling !! Couple more days and you’ll be halfway done !!
Sounds like a really profitable day. I can’t believe you are so near your goal!!! You’re doing a great job.
