Step One (We can have lots of fun)

Day One began in the most auspicious manner possible-with Eagle Eye Cherry and "Save Tonight" as the final song on the radio before putting the canoe into the Rock River.  Thanks to a speedy current, Karl made it to his campsite well before dusk (42 25.883n 89 02.931w).  There was been a bit of rain, but all in all a pleasant first day on the river.  Karl and Nico braved the confluence of the Rock River and Turtle Creek (never to be known as Buccaneer Creek) and lived to tell the tale.  The only bird of note was a northern harrier.  Oh wait, maybe it was this one.  Until tomorrow...
