Day Fourteen

"Is it possible to have more rest days than paddle days?  This is the best trip ever." 

Today was marked by relaxation, with activities such as playing fetch with Nico, watching tugboats and barges, and listening to trains.  On tap for tomorrow is the first lock of the trip and a float down to Muscatine, Iowa.  The weekend will be spent with Matty J and the fam.  When life is good, it's really good.

  2. Back before the glaciers receded, I used to sit on a bluff over the Missouri on the easternmost boundary of the property where we lived, or on one of the stone dikes extending into the river, and spent hours watching the tugs and barges--to this day I have a love for tugs...
