Today was a tale of two portages. The first portage took over an hour and a half, contributing to an average of less than one mile per hour over the first 5 1/2 hours of the day. In comparison, the next five miles took one hour. To add insult to injury, a new, shorter access route was built on the north side of the Rock. Unfortunately, Karl didn't see it until he had already completed the longer, old portage. The next time he travels down to Houston by canoe, he will be sure to remember to take the new route. Karl will certainly sleep very well this evening.

ReplyDeletedon't talk to karl about flying when he's dragging a boat around. really doc? creep!
ReplyDeleteI just thought it would be fun to leave Karl a trail of news stories that he is missing while on the river for the next month or two. . .
ReplyDeleteHe isn't reading any of this until he is done, correct?
not until today. a missile launch? i had figured the locals were out hunting their ducks and geese with a bit more firepower.
