Mike Bohannon is the River Angel in Dyersburg Tennessee. Mike is a great guy he will go out of his way to do anything he can for you.
I decided that I would take off the river for a while because of an extreme heat wave. The temperature is predicted to be 100° for the next 10 days.
Mike met me near the bridge where 185 crosses from Tennessee to Missouri. He help me load my gear and Kayak on a trailer that he borrowed. I took my kayak and gear to his house and stored it when he took me to the motel six in Dyersburg Tennessee.
The next morning I was able to get a rental car from Hertz at the airport. I drove his rental car back to Alton Illinois retrieve my car visit with Sonny Hankins for a little while. I drove back to Dyersburg Tennessee and retrieved all my gear and kayak from Mike Bohannon‘s house. Spent another night at the motel six. And then started from the trip home by Georgia.
You can't catch a break,. Last fall the cold caught you and now the other extreme. Hope to see you back soon but safety, or second... Peace
