Day Eight

Compared to yesterday, today was a walk in the park.  Or maybe a float down a river.  Either way, there was substantially less effort and quite a bit more distance covered.  As there is only one more dam left to portage on the Rock River, the current flowed more swiftly than in past days.  The wind was relatively calm and temperatures remained unseasonably mild.  Karl knew it was time to get off the river when he heard the sound of an owl.  He and Nico are resting comfortably in camp and ready for the possible rain tomorrow.  If the tent is wet in the morning, they will remain in camp for the day.  Otherwise, it is back to the river.  

Today's coordinates: 41 37.645n 90 04.836w

  1. And you missed that the worst point in Bush's presidency, by his own reckoning, was when Kanye called him a racist. (Yeah, thats right. Not when....well....I digress.) And then Kanye went on GMA and apparently they were really like totally mean to him. And so he canceled a live appearance planned for Nov.
    That's right. I'd say this has been the most stable story in the news cycle for the past three days.
    Need there be more comment on what AWESOME stuff you are missing?

    I wanna get on a river and ignore the world too. You are a lucky man Poetzl.
