<br />As we left Memphis, we were stil</span><span style="font-size:100%;">l battling the heat and we knew it was only getting worse. With water everywhere, nobody was willing to jump in, what with the cloudy muck in the water and all.
<br />
<br />We made our first stop in Helena, </span><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" style="font-size:100%;">Arkansas</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> to find some food. It was getting dark and we were dead tired as we tied up the Sea Monkey. We were definitely foreigners in this very southern city, </span><span style=";font-size:100%;" > </span><span style="font-size:100%;">and we didn't see much of anybody else. The streets weren't well lit and everything was closed. Each time we rounded a corner, we'd see the </span><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" style="font-size:100%;">silhouette</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> of another person for only an instant before it dodged out of view. Finally we found a gas station that was all locked up, but still had a service window, like a drive through, but nobody drove. There were only pedestrians at this window. As I kept my knife handy in my pocket, we asked for directions to the nearby casino and scurried back to the raft. Again we were home and safe.
<br />
<br />We landed on the Mississippi side of the river. It was a hike up the rock and thick forestry of the levy, but it was all worth it for the air conditioning and fresh food. We almost got a hotel for the night but we wanted to hold out for the Big Easy. That was the first night of the heavy mosquitoes. </span><span style=";font-size:100%;" > </span><span style="font-size:100%;">I don't know how they found their way into the mosquito nets, but by the morning, we were all housed inside the nets with hundreds of the blood-filled bugs. I was on the top deck and I don't believe I slept hardly a wink until we started off. Josh pushed off and drove from sunrise and I finally had a little breeze to fend off the blood suckers. I slept for a few more hours until my cot was sliding around on the top deck as we passed over the barge wakes. Seeing that we had no sides on top, I decided to get out of bed before I went in the drink with my cot.
<br />
<br />The Sea Monkey pushed all the way to Greenville, MS. We pulled into the marina gas pump about 5 miles up a cut. We tied up close to 2 am. It was a run-down place with roaches and sure could have used some Rustolium on the floating dock, but it had character so we didn't mind. First thing in the morning we called the yacht club office up the road and they said they'd send someone by 9am to run the gas pump. It was only 6 so we did some grocery shopping. Matt and I met the worker back at the dock and he filled us up. Through the language barrier, he told us that we owed $50 for gas and $24 for the mooring fee... for tying up for a few hours. We argued with him and with the owner of the marina/ yacht club over the phone. Eventually I went to the owner's office to reason with her in person. She threatened to throw me in jail! I told her exactly what I thought of her roach infested marina with the hidden prices as we yelled at each other. Regrettably, I paid the "mooring fee" because I was sick to my stomach of the god awful state of Mississippi and all of the 'yachtzis' that were running the fascist nation of their own. I just wanted to get the hell out. If you're reading this Bonnie, either run your business as if you're in America or move to Muldova where you belong. I blame the poor education system down there.
<br />
<br />It took us most of the day to get to Vicksburg where we showered in the fountain, grabbed some grub, gas and beer, and then hit the river again. We motored all night. By that point in the trip, we had the radio on all the time at night. We used it to talk to barges and move to wherever they wanted us to go. As we came up to Natchez MS, I radioed to the barge behind me as I saw only the spotlight from a few miles away, but he couldn't see our boat yet. We went under the bridge and I asked how far he was from it. He responded, "I'm fixing to go through it." I asked him again and he repeated himself. I said, "Hey I'm from Minnesota. I don't know what that means. How far are you from the bridge?" Finally he reported, "I'm about 300 feet from it," and I darted to the side of the channel to stay out from under him.
<br />
<br />As the sun came up, Josh and I fell asleep as soon as our heads hit the plywood as Matt took over for a few hours. We got a lot more of the same scenery, the same barges, and the same heat. The three of us were itching to get find anything different. Finally, the Sea Monkey hit Baton Rouge at sunset and we tied up to an old broken down concrete barge dock.
<br />
<br />There was a thick pillar hanging by the rebar that would or would not have taken off the front deck of the raft if it fell, but we figured we'd play it safe and sleep in the back half of the raft, just in case. Josh and Matt went into town with a few gas cans to fill up before the long industrial stretch to New Orleans. By then it was dark. I lay down with the hobo flail nearby in case of a homeless invasion. Just then, the lantern ran out of propane. I saw a spider on my chest. In a spooked motion, I swatted it off. I lay back down as the headboard slipped out from behind me and I hit my head on the corner of the cabinet beneath me. </span><span style=";font-size:100%;" > </span><span style="font-size:100%;">On the whole trip there were only two moments when I wished that I lived back on a dry-land building and that was one of them.
<br /></span></p><p style="font-family: courier new;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:100%;">
<br /></span></p> <p style="font-family: courier new;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:100%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: courier new;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:100%;">With another early start, we got a close up view of some of the ocean liners and other industrial equipment. Check out the pictures. With all of the traffic from the tugs and even bigger boats, the waves were enough to slow down the Sea Monkey to about 5mph. We were flagged down by a Cajun tug captain. The first thought in each of our heads was that we’re in the way, but he was just curious and wanted to take a look. He mentioned that his dad wants to make the trip on a canoe. The Sea Monkey seems to inspire everyone that has dreamed of the adventure.
<br /></span></p><p style="font-family: courier new;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:100%;">
<br /></span></p> <p style="font-family: courier new;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:100%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: courier new;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:100%;">We tied up in a clearing after dark and headed off again at sunrise on Saturday morning. I slept in but I woke up to the harbor patrol taking everyone’s names and numbers. They kept repeating “you’re in a dangerous part of the river and the Coast Guard is watching you.” I think they were glad to hear that we were shooting for another 20 miles or so and they wouldn’t have to deal with us after another couple of hours.
<br /></span></p><p style="font-family: courier new;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:100%;">
<br /></span></p> <p style="font-family: courier new;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:100%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: courier new;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:100%;">We floated through downtown New Orleans around noon and we all shared a feeling of exhaustion, relief, and accomplishment. We had conquered one of the longest rivers in the world in a raft we build from scratch. We had concluded a journey that only a handful of people in the world are brave enough but still young and dumb enough to follow through with. We’d lived a lifestyle that at first was completely novel and unfamiliar. But over the course of a few weeks, our horizon was stretched and we were experienced and comfortable on the floating home. I’ve never felt as free as I felt while I was floating down the river.
<br /></span></p><p style="font-family: courier new;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:100%;">
<br /></span></p> <p style="font-family: courier new;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:100%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: courier new;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:100%;">We docked the Sea Monkey at a marina close to Lake Ponchentrain, rented a hotel and hit Bourbon Street by the evening. Right away, we met a man preaching on the streets. He insisted that we were the white devil. He said that the blacks would soon rule the world and the whites would serve as the slaves, as the black have for all of history. We tried to logically explain to him that he is not a slave and he is free. We tried to tell him that slavery has been over for some time now and he can do whatever he wants. But whenever we made a compelling point, he rambled off another racist remark from his books and called us the “neesay” (white devil). I’d be lying if I said we didn’t have a blast. Of the two nights that we were there, some of us literally hit Bourbon Street. We took the third day off. </span></p> <p style="font-family: courier new;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:100%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: courier new;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:100%;">Getting a truck long enough to fit the raft was like pulling teeth. It took us most of Tuesday to get everything loaded up and we took off for the north country. We stopped at a few hotels and stayed with Revy and Jen in Dubuque, Iowa for a night, all to make it home by Friday night. The Sea Monkey is still in pieces but is slowly coming back together at the barn on Diamond Lake. We’re going to put it all back together and enjoy Diamond Lake on the Sea Monkey for as long as it lives! </span></p> <p style="font-family: courier new;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:100%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: courier new;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:100%;">
<br /></span></p><p style="font-family: courier new;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:100%;">I want to say thanks one more time to everyone that has helped out along the trip in one way or another. And also thanks for keeping an eye on us and rooting for us the whole way down. Thanks a bunch for the comments too. I still like reading them over. </span></p> <p style="font-family: courier new;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:100%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: courier new;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:100%;">THANKS EVERYONE!</span></p>

We're going to take apart the raft today. Thanks for following the blog and watch for more updates in the next week as we travel back north.Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11563313878995468467noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106636745221779874.post-35688690327469293212009-08-12T21:07:00.000-05:002009-08-12T21:08:30.923-05:00MemphisMemphis was an experience to say the least. Matt Josh and I cruised into the city steering from the top with the newly reinforced sweep steer. The first one broke, but the new one is guaranteed. As soon as we landed in the marina on Mud Island, the sun was just above the herizon. We were greeted by the locals with open arms. This was the first marina that we had seen since the St. Louis area and we were glad to hear of the laundry and shower facilities. We tied up, cleaned up, and socialized with the workers and anyone who happened to walk by. This marina has a nice outdoor lounge area right on the dock. There was always someone there relaxing and glad to have some good company. Naturally, we go caught up for a while with all of the chit-chatting. <br /><br />After getting situated, one of the workers gave us a ride across the bay into downtown on his pontoon, Gizmo. We had been seeing little more than trees and water for a few days and the inner city was a bit foreign. We were dropped off right by the levy and only had a short walk. Sandy recommended the Bardog to get some greatly needed grub, so we didn't hesitate to make the stop right away. The air conditioning was more than relieving and the food was just as good. What a treat to be on dry land, and in civilization.<br /><br />We hit Beale Street in the early evening. I was dead set on finding some live blues. It was a Thursday so there wasn't a ton of commotion. We'd been running long hours so we didn't mind calling it an early night even though we hadn't found any blues music. Somewhere along Beale Street, we got split up, but it's a pretty safe street so we weren't overly concerned. A driver of the horse and buggy, Glen, was waiting to bring home a crew, but it was getting late and he wanted to head home just as I was walking in his direction. He offered me a ride. I opened my wallet to find no cash but he said he was going toward Mud Island anyway and was glad to give me a lift. Glen knows Memphis. I could barely squeeze in a word because he was rambling about every historical point that we passed. I never realized there was so much history in every corner. Glen even let me drive the carriage, but the horse knew where to go for the most part. I wished I had a few bucks to throw to him but all he asked is that I didn't tell his boss about the free ride.<br /><br />The security gate to the lower part of the island wasn't a problem for me because the workers at the marina had told them we would be coming through. Earlier no one was there when matt came through so he crawled underneath. Josh came in a little later and the guard was sleeping. Josh woke him, and walked right through where we all met up again and hit the hay.<br /><br />On Friday morning, in the blistering heat, I went for a run through the park on the lower end of the island. In Mud Island Park, the city put together a scale model of the lower Mississippi River from St. Louis to the Golf. It stretched a half mile. It twisted and wound around the park and the water ran continuously from the head waters to the pool at the end. I couldn't help but stop and see the places we had been and what we have up ahead. There were interesting tidbits on various mile markers. My favorite ones told about the disputes over land between states. It usually happened after a flood when the river had changed positions. Some of the displays described the river as a living organism, always changing and challenging mankind along the banks. There was a burger joint by the pool that we stopped at later. It was overpriced but had great tasting food.<br /><br />I made my way back to the marina to chat with some locals. A few of them were from New Orleans and gave us some good advice. Mostly, "Be careful." But they say as long as a guy sticks to the open streets, he'll have no problems. Chuck, the manager of the marina, gave us two tickets to the tram that ran from the island over the bay to the downtown area. By the time we made it to the tram, it had been closed for only 15 minutes. Kind of a bummer, but we got some good aerial shots of the Sea Monkey and the river model from 5 stories up. We were about to leave when we found two untouched baskets of chicken from the burger joint. With not a soul in sight, we gobbled them down. No need to stop for dinner right away. We took a cab into the city instead of the tram.<br /><br />Memphis is not short on homeless guys. They really stick to tourists, hoping for money and/or beer. One followed us from the ATM for a few blocks until Josh tossed some change to him and he left us alone. Later I realized that the best way keep clear of them is to ask them for money and beer. They quickly realize I've got nothing and move on.<br /><br />The first stop we made was in a fancy blues cafe with mellow music. The drinks were too much for our budget and the bar tender told us about a deal on "BIG ASS BEERS" from the restaurant's outdoor bar. We each got a drink and headed back in. The bouncer at the door said only drinks from inside are aloud in there. "Finnish those first" he said. We called his bluff and walked away. He quickly chased us down and said we could go right on into the cafe for the show. That's another trick that came in handy more than once. Beale Street likes tourists.<br /><br />We wondered to the end of the street to find a guy who looked our age playing some classic blues on the sidewalk. He played the guitar and three drums using all of his limbs. Did I mention he sang too? We watched for a while but left because he was only warming up. We got a bite to eat and went back to the show. I stubbed my toe, not thinking much of it at the time. It wasn't long before my sandal was covered in blood and I was leaving footprints on the concrete. A nearby carriage driver spotted me a few Band-Aids and I washed up in a hotel fountain. Problem solved! A man promoting his resteraunt was yelling as we walked close. "My bbq ribs are so tender you don' even need teeth. You can gum 'em!" As we walked by he saw the three bearded Northern Euros stick out like a sore thumb. "Hey, Sweeden! Norway! Come eat my ribs, you'll be glad ya did." We told him we were just too full but were looking forward to it tomorrow.<br /><br />We headed back to the street performer a few songs into his set. I got a lot of pics and video that we can hopefully post soon. The crowd slowly loosened up and it wasn't long before everyone in the street was tapping their toe, singing along or showing off their elvis-wiggle. We were having a blast on that street corner for most of the night until the cops finally shut down the show. I realized that in the midst of all the mingling, the three of us had split up again. I asked a few cops how to get to Mud Island. They told me I had quite the hike, but they gave me a safe rout home.<br /><br />I was stopped by the security guard at the marina. I told her I only wanted to get to my boat at the marina. She lectured me on the security policy. I told here that it sounds like a miscommunication between the marina and the security gate. I think she felt bad for barking at me because she gave me a ride through the gate and the rest of the way through the marina. She also gave me the same deal as Glen: "just don't tell my boss." I was glad to make the deal. She mentioned there was a band playing on Saturday at the amphitheater just a stone throw away from the marina; Journey!<br /><br />We had planned to leave on Saturday, but we just had to stay to hear Journey. They weren't on stage until 8pm so we had some more down time to explore. Josh found some an air conditioned cafe to blog while I checked out the river model again and found a Mississippi River Museum near by. They had everything on display from show boats to the Civil War. I walked back to the boat to see Matt chatting with some folks with the Coast Guard Auxiliary, a voluntary branch of the USCG. Hoping to go into the Coast Guard myself, I was more than pleased to sit and chat. They were glad to hear it too. By the time I'd gotten there, they had already given the Sea Monkey a full inspection and a sticker of approval to let the Coast guard patrol know we had already passed, even though we didn't have the registration paperwork handy (it's in my car in Minnesota). Thanks to my dad and Captain Ken, we have an electronic copy if we need it.<br /><br />We figured we'd better run through Beale Street one more time. The tram was still open, but the ticket booth was closed. We didn't get it either. We still had two tickets from Chuck the manager and we swindled the workers to let us through. Despite the language barrier between the two dialects, we made it to the tram. All three of us stood under the air conditioning on the ceiling until the doors shut and the A/C turned off. Another puzzling instance.<br /><br />Once in the downtown area, we worked our way through a heard of homeless guys. Sleeping on the pavement in the middle of the day, talking to themselves... you name it. We made it to the BBQ restaurant where the guy said "you can gum 'em,"<br /> and he wasn't lying. They were some of the most tender rips I've had at a restaurant.<br /><br />We hung out on Beale Street for a while longer. Before heading to the concert, we picked up some supplies from a nearby gas station and were once again swarmed with homeless guys, but our taxi finally came and we were off. We asked the driver to drop us off at the gate. We pulled up and as we were unloading, the security guard told us that we can't walk through the gate. "Nobody be walkin' through, you need a ride to get in." We tried logically explaining to the guard that we had a ride there and he saw us get out of the taxi... the taxi was there the whole time. I asked him why we couldn't walk it and didn't get a sensible answer. He just wouldn't budge. After we argued and tried to reason with the guard, the driver offered us a free 20 foot ride through the gate. It was unnecessary but at least kept everyone happy.<br /><br />We didn't buy tickets, but people said you could hear the concert from the water just behind the amphitheater. A lot of other boaters had the same idea. Billy from the marina brought us out in his bass boat, but we figured if we're gonna do it, we'd better be in the Sea Monkey. So we went back to the marina and swapped. We ended up tying up tying up to a giant house boat, that was tied to a giant speed boat. Almost all the boats on the Mississippi are bigger than I've seen. There were a few couples on board that were glad to treat us and hear our stories. It's always nice to chat with southerners because they see the world a little bit differently.<br /><br />Memphis is a great town to visit. I still want to go back someday. But I wouldn't ever want to live there. Some of the locals even say they want out. For me, the biggest problem was the heat. In the cold you can always put more layers on, but in the heat, you can only get naked. and most of the time that's not even an option. One of the locals said that everyone thinks southerners are lazy because they usually sit around and chat all day if they aren't working. Well, I can see why they don't want to move around much in that blazing heat. That could be why they have such a relaxed and social way of life, in Memphis anyway.Benhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12808760194111349926noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106636745221779874.post-57428670146726120052009-08-08T12:51:00.023-05:002009-08-08T14:48:09.231-05:00Lots and lots of pictures<span>Thanks very much to Eric at the Apple Store at the St Louis Galleria for fixing my computer.</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><br /><br />July 25:</span><br />Sam and Dan rode in the raft for a little ways and we towed their canoe.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPAFR9k-2hBvBFjOK2snU1U3o3oLVtmcu6VN1nsjP7iFevCQMwdTl10q0DlLspGHNUQ9J5E8zae62WdZXFPSBwBrVKvE1qinVjcD8bKXLmb6_KUyUkOeOAaSRi9fnTWSAoL5sWqVulXpU/s1600-h/SANY0225+1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

Here's an update up to last night when I wrote it up:<br /><br />After sleeping in on the second day in St. Louis, we got some food in us and figured we couldn't leave before going up to the top of the arch," the gateway to the west." I think anyone who has been up the arch would agree that the 1960's elevators look like futuristic escape pods, and feel like it too. There are 5 seats, but it wont seat 5 average sized men. Good thing one of us in the pod were susceptible to claustrophobia. The ride up was a little shaky, and nerve wracking considering that a few of the elevators had just broken down, but it was all worth it fro the view. We could even see the raft from over 600 ft up!<br /><br />With full bellies and the sight-seeing out of the way, we searched the city for navigation charts of the lower Mississippi. Well, we searched by phone. Phone call after phone call and no promising leads. The only solution was to print them off... after we somehow found printing access. Eventually, Josh and I made our way to the public library and printed off the charts. We ran into a few problems. The staff said it's not often that someone prints 316 pages at a time. Low and behold, we finally got the charts from Cairo, IL through the Bayous of southern Louisiana.<br /><br />We were still parked right under the arch on the cobbl-stone beach, a stone throw away from the arch. The water had gone down a foot since the night we beached. We met a local fireman, Duane, who was a huge help throughout our stay. He made a few calls and found out that the water was supposed to drop another foot. Seeing as how we were already half way beached, we wanted to move down before we we had a completely beached Sea Monkey. In the process, we broke off a nose cone. YIKES! But it was only the screws that broke off, no worries. We decided to make the repairs (first repairs of the trip) in the morning, when the Sea Monkey was floating freely. There was a concert under the arch again that night, so naturally, the Sea Monkey got a heap of attention. We had the near by music and fireworks to keep us entertained and a new set of curious locals every so often to keep us company.<br /><br />I woke up the next day to see the front deck filled with fresh groceries and the cooler filled with new beer. 'A gift from Poseidon' I thought. As it turned out, it was a local fisherman that we'd been hanging out with, Bob. He tried to be anonymous and drop it off after we had hit the hey, but luckily Matt had gotten up for a midnight just in time to meet him. I think we still would have figured it out, seeing as how Bob also bought us supper the night before. Thanks Bob! We can't tell you how much we appreciate it!<br /><br />We fixed the nose cone and just before we left, we met Jasper, the beat-boxer from the streets. Jasper is quite the character. He'd been across the country and back to his home town of St. Louis. Jasper used his solo beat-boxing skills to earn food from tourists and people around the city, and country. I shot some video of his performance. Josh will post it soon.<br /><br />AFter a few days of St. Louis, we had to hit the river. Everyone for the past 200 miles warned us that Hoppies was the last marina until Memphis, so we had to fill up there. Of coarse the people there see every raft that makes the trip, but even they were impressed by the Sea Monkey.<br /><br />We found a calm spot behind a wing-dam. The days are hot down here, but the nights are still comfortably chilly. With plenty of driftwood at hand, we built a roaring fire. It turned out to be a late night and we didn't leave until 10 am on Monday.<br /><br />We didn't realize it right away, but we are in a whole different type of river beyond St. Louis. There are no lock and dams, much faster current and hardly any towns or boaters. We see a lot of barges, big ones too, as they aren't restricted by the size of the locks. We got stopped by the Coast Guard twice since St. Louis. The first time, they were only curious and wanted a closer look at the raft. Just yesterday, they gave us the full safety inspection. We passed with flying colors.<br /><br />To make up time, we decided to motor through the Monday night. I drove while Josh spotted the buoys and Matt slept. We came near Cairo, IL just as the sun was rising. Cairo is on the peninsula where the Mississippi meets the Ohio River. To get into Cairo, we had to motor up the Ohio. Our 10 horse could barely beat the current but we made it to town to stock up. Cairo was a rough town that seemed to be secluded from standard American Society. I'll just say that the morning was the best time to be in that town. Finally, after gassing up, we rotated to put Matt in the drivers seat while Josh and I slept. And that's tough to do in this kind of heat. The water is too muddy for swimming this far south, although it looked awfully tempting that day. Later in the hot sticky evening, a cold wind washed over the river. Nothing was ever so refreshing. I spread out my body until I shivered. No shiver had ever felt so good. The cold wind came with a price. There was a storm approaching. On top of that, the river was hungry and snatched a hat, some jeans and a life jacket. So far on the trip, the river has also gobbled up a chair, glasses, a wallet, 2 journals and any cocky attitude we had toward it.<br /><br />There was a storm just out of range for a few hours. It wasn't moving fast and neither were we. We tried to outrun it like we had before, but it eventually caught us and forced the Sea Monkey to take a break on the bank. We were planning to pull another all-nighter, but Mother Nature thought differently.<br /><br />Rain is good and bad for us. We learned the hard way that it doesn't pay to drive through it. It does, however, boost the current. All that run off has helped us to push an average of 8 - 9 mph in the past few days. At that speed and with no lock and dams, 100 miles per day is no problem.<br /><br />In the few towns that we see now, the people are still nice. Josh and Matt ran into Caruthersville to stock up. There, they met Baker who was mind boggled about the journey. Baker insisted that Matt and Josh take some fresh fruit from his stand. Of coarse, none of us argue against free food offers.<br /><br />Last night, we camped on another island. This was a rocky island with a few trees scattered on the bare up-river corner. Some of the trees were poking right out of the water. We saw a deer as we were approaching, but the deer played it safe and took off before we got close. We barely made it into the canal out of the current and were worried that the river would drop again, trapping us in the side waters. We marked the water line and after only an hour or two, we could see that the water was raising. The run off from storm was still paying off.<br /><br />Today, we met the first boater that we'd seen in a couple of days. He was a middle aged man with his young boys. He said he was just talking to his boys about making the trip from Itaska to the Golf before he saw us pull through. He mentioned he was planning on it for years with his buddy. But a year or so ago, his buddy passed away. The friendly boater was more than glad to see a few rafters living the dream and I think we may have even inspired him to shoot for it himself.<br /><br />We're currently looking at Memphis at a distance. Wish us luck in the big city.Benhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12808760194111349926noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106636745221779874.post-70718990411075543362009-08-03T14:32:00.009-05:002009-08-03T15:43:39.230-05:00Lots of PicturesSorry for getting so far behind posting pictures.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">July 20:</span><br />Chuck welded our broken anchor:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwwpTR_e6mfzzc1zcER3EK5nXq3VIqxUpJ2E0fHvuCxmZx0pM_ceqMVimGHk2kFF0lbccSSaVRoDCZcUv4_zLf9St9MytiUcnZai_EkgDLLkSkZTxDNe1FUVgpvPylTQkthfA3OlBhppU/s1600-h/SANY0137+1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

Now we can say we made it to Louisiana no matter what happens. We asked a local guy named Averon where the nearest gas station was and he offered us a ride. That saved us a lot of trips on foot carrying gas cans and such. With the raft fully stocked we were planning on leaving but a big storm hit so we dropped the tarps and put up the awning. Everything stayed dry and nobody got struck by lightning. When the storm started to clear a bunch of trucks pulled up to the boat club and they invited us in for a beer. Clark and the others told us a bunch of stories and jokes. It was a lot of fun but we had to get back on the river. We motored into the night until we hit Clarksville. We explored the town a bit and looked deserted until we found a cool bar with stone pillars inside. We were telling the bartender about our journey when a guy leans over and asks "Did yall vote for Al Franken?" Josh being a big Franken fan replies yes. We talked to Mark for a bit and showed him the raft. He invited us to stay at his place and we are in no position to refuse a night on dry land. We played a little basketball, hit some softballs, and he even let me drive his tractor around. <br /><br />7-29-2009<br />The next morning Mark made us breakfast and drove us back to the raft in his convertible. We headed back down the river and discovered an old deserted barge so Ben and I climbed around on it. Farther down stream we stopped at a restaurant right on the river and ate catfish and lasagna. It was delicious. We met Al, Rick, and Glen who had done a similar journey when they were younger on a much larger raft. They even had a model of it. It floated on 40 barrels, ours floats on 12. Al invited us to stop at his house which was just down river when we passed by it later. When we were on the way there we ran in to Sam and Dan yet again. We invited them aboard and towed their canoe to Al's house. Al's yard was a big concrete wall right on the river. He gave us a ride in this cool 1972 boat with 3 keels, an icebreaker, and a new 200 horse motor. Me and Ben leaned off the bow when we were going fast, quite a contrast from the raft. Because Al lives on a concrete wall he lowers his boats in and out of the water with a big Jib crane. A 150 hp jon boat was parked nearby also. After a tour of his house he showed us a machine he invented that fuses sheet metal together with a 7000 psi punch powered by compressed air. It was much faster than spot welding or riveting. After that we hung out with Sam and Dan for a bit before we went to bed on the raft.<br /><br />7-30-2009<br />We left Al's and drove to Grafton which had a really nice marina. They had a swimming pool that was floating on the river, I found that ironic. Ben and Josh walked to the grocery store and when they were about to leave the cashier asked if they were going to carry all of the groceries. After they replied yes Cindy handed over the keys to her car and let them borrow it. The kindness of people along river never ceases to amaze me. A friendly local invited us over to his boat for a beer. We took showers, filled up with water and fuel, and just as we were leaving we ran into Sam and Dan again. There were huge cliffs on the side of the river, a very scenic area. While we werae just trucking down the the river and boat with 2 guys pulls up and asks if we've got time to hang out. So we tie our boat up to Matt and Brian's boat and Ben sees that they have a wake skate. So we untie from the raft and Ben goes wake skating for a bit. When we got back to the raft Ben was climbing from boat to boat when his sunglasses fell in the water, Matt immediately hands him a pair of almost the same glasses. He said he has a whole crate of them. Brian had an appointment so he gave us a bottle of whiskey and took off. Down river we were waiting on a barge when a cop pulls up to us and basically says were all going to die if we try to go through St Louis. It seems that all river cops want to do is scare you into giving up when the coast guard are the ones who know what they are talking about. We figured we should probably wait until the next morning to go into St Louis so we tied up to a boat landing in Alton. Some local fisherman Bruce and David hung out with us for a bit and gave us some fishing gear. We made a fire on the roof and cooked some brats Al had given us the night before before going to sleep on the raft.<br /><br />7-31-2009<br />The day started by waiting for a barge and the Mel Price lock. Quite an impressive lock, it has a huge control tower and looks way newer than the rest of the locks. They made us put on life jackets in the lock which was a first. After that everything was industrial, barges and tugs everywhere. There is a really long man made canal leading up to the final lock. When we were driving down it a flying carp jumped into our boat, we fried it right away and just as it was getting done cooking another carp skimmed my leg and landed in the boat so we ate that one too. We went through the final lock and were on our way into St Louis. After a cop and Al told us to have a gun onboard we stopped and picked up rocks so we could build primitive weapons for hobo defense. St Louis doesn't have any docks so we just pulled up to the brick levee under the arch. The arch was an awesome sight, I recommend visiting it. There were helicopter tours flying right overhead and riverboats driving by all day. The computer wasn't working so Josh took a taxi to the Apple store to get it figured out. Thanks the Eric at the Apple store for the help. A cool guy named Bob hung out with us for a bit before we walked around the arch and checked out the surrounding area. There was free live music and fireworks under the arch that night. Since we were right on the water you could see the barge that the fireworks were being launched from, it was an impressive display. All kinds of locals stopped and checked out the raft throughout the day. Bob stopped by later and gave us some white castle, thanks Bob. Because of the event going on under the arch it turned out to good spot to park the raft. We slept in the raft without any problems that night.Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08651342976357681240noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106636745221779874.post-78124122060124266192009-08-01T21:55:00.004-05:002009-08-02T00:14:43.886-05:00VideosHere are some videos we've taken since the beginning of the trip:

We're still settling into our groove and searching for internet access. Here's our update:<br /><br />We didn't spend a lot of time in the quad cities on Wednesday, but we did make a stop to get more supplies. I biked up through Davenport while Matt and Josh watched the Sea Monkey. On my way back, I was trying to hurry so we could cover some good distance that night. On top of that, the area that I was riding through was a rough looking neighborhood and I wasn't looking to spend a lot of time as a sitting duck. I felt something hit me in the back of the head and thought I was about to be mugged. I looked back to see a redwing-black bird hovering just out of arms reach behind my head. By the sound of his squawk he wasn't happy to see me and I felt the same way. I flailed and swatted to keep him off of my head and to shoe him away, but he stayed on my tail for nearly a block. Finally he gave up and I went on.<br /><br />As I got closer to the river, Matt called me up and said that we had an hour wait for the lock and dam in Davenport. By then I was in a nicer area and I figured I'd take my time as long as we had the wait. I pulled up to a big black dog with dread locks that stretched from his back all the way to the ground. I asked his owner, Ron, if I could get a picture with the dog, Jazz. He was glad to take the photo and we got to chit chatting. Ron was just closing up his antique shop and invited me into his house, next door, for a beer. After biking in the hot weather, nothing sounded more satisfying than a cold one. Ron had a beautiful house and garden. We shared stories and almost lost track of time when I realized that we were on schedule to go through the lock in just a few minutes. Ron gave me the quickest rout to the sailors club where the guys were waiting for me and I shot out not long after. The guys had dropped me off up river from the sailors club, so I wasn't entirely sure where to find them. I hit the bike trail that runs along the river. There is a concrete wall that boarders the river and the water was low, so I stopped every couple of blocks to look over the wall and eventually found the Sea Monkey waiting for launch. Josh and Matt told me about a sail boat race that I missed out on while I was in town. I would have liked to see it, but I wasn't too bummed out.<br /><br />We landed in Fairport that night. It's a small town that didn't stretch farther than a stone throw. We were hungry, but the marina/bar had already closed up so we chewed on some jerky and this and that for the night. I tried to start a fire but all the wood that I could find was too damp to catch a flame.<br /><br />When we woke up at 6 am on Thursday, I lifted my head to see that the river was foggy as could be. Even the near by buoys were out of sight. We all said no way and napped until 8. With a late start we landed in Muscatine by mid-day. Right after we docked in the public harbor, we were greeted with compliments on the raft and of coarse a heap of curious questions from some folks at the Events Center by the Harbor. Still hungry, hot and sweaty, we headed into town hoping to find a grocery store, but instead, found an authentic Mexican buffet. I was sold as soon as the air conditioning hit my skin.<br /><br />With full bellies, we headed back to the raft. Some of the workers at the events center flagged us down before we launched and asked if we were hungry. I can never say no to food so I told them that if they had leftovers to give out, we'll make sure that it gets eaten. They loaded us up with grilled chicken, burgers with all the fixings and ice to keep it for later. We gave our gracious thank-yous and set sail.<br /><br />It was near sunset on Thursday when we were rushed by one local fisherman after another. None of them could believe their eyes. We get a lot of attention form other boats. It's almost like being in a parade. And by that time of day, all the boaters have been on the water for for a while and are more social. We'd been hearing about a few guys in a canoe that were also traveling the length of the river. Some of the fisherman mentioned that they had just seen them a few days earlier. One guy named Ethan flagged us down to say hi. He must have been about our age and his brother in the boat behind him looked like a young teen. We talked for a while and he sped off for just a couple minutes to return with a few beers. River folks sure know how to treat guests. He gave us some fishing tips and snails for bait too. Thanks Ethan! I hope you make the trip yourself soon!<br /><br />We were planning to run all night but we found a nice spot with an uprooted tree on the Illinois bank. The tree was stripped of all the bark, leaving a white trunk perched above the shore. We were a little cautions around the hundreds of what looked like snake holes on the muddy bank. Josh and Matt threw some fishing lines out while I collected fire wood. We monkeyed around on the fallen tree for a while, I ended up in the drink once and then worked on the fire to dry out. The mini charcoal grill makes a great portable fire pit. We were all pretty beat from being on the river all day. It was fairly quiet. I was trying to take in all of the scenery, because pictures never do justice for landscapes. We watched as the sky turned from pink to orange, to red. A sunset only lasts so long, but a guy always has the stars to look forward to.<br /><br />With some moderate headwinds, we motored for most of the day on Friday, and into the night as well. We went through a tornado watch and were almost guaranteed severe thunderstorms. We strapped everything down and prepared for a battle with mother nature, who can easily humble a few cocky rafters. Despite the headwinds, we ran south as fast as we could and dodged the storm. Luck was on our side.<br /><br />We were hoping to go through Keokuk before setting up camp, but we would have had an hour and a half wait for the lock and dam. There is a yacht club just up river from the lock and dam where we tied up. There was a fancy bar holding a class of '85 reunion. Relative to the crowd, we were grungy and dirty, until two other gents in the same condition approached the Sea Monkey. Dan and Sam from Minneapolis. They're the canoers we've been hearing about! They were in a homemade canoe called the "Don't Fight It." We all shared stories over a few beers. They brought a banjo along and it sounded great along with Josh's washboard. Even though we weren't as clean shaven as the class of '85 in the bar, we did a alot of mingling in and out of the bar. The Sea monkey and the Don't Fight It bring a smile to everyone's face.<br /><br />We spent the night on the raft, tied to the river side of the float dock. There was a light sprinkle and the sound of distant thunder. The waves and current were still tossing us around a bit. It sounds nerve-wracking but it's actually quite soothing to be rocked to sleep.<br /><br />On saturday, we hooked up the Don't Fight It to the back of the Sea Monkey. Dan and Sam hopped on board the raft as we gave them a lift to them from Keokuk to Canton. We had another wait on Lock and Dam #19, so we hung out by the yacht club for an hour or so. Lock and Dam #19 is different from the others. First off, it's huge! I'm not sure of the dimensions, but for every foot that it drops, it dumps out 1.2 million gallons of water... and it dropped about 35 feet that day. The door on the up river side isn't a normal double opening door, but one peace of metal that drops below the surface. You drive over it and it pops back up behind after you get in. There door is wide enough for a walkway on top. When it emerged from the water, there were fish that got caught on top of it. The lock-keepers actually had to walk out on top of the door to shovel them off. It was a slow drop. There were 5 or 6 floating tie-ups for larger boats builed into the wall. As they dropped along with the water level, they all rubbed on the vertical steel runners. They squealed and echoed between the concrete walls and water surface; an eerie feeling.<br /><br />The rainfall upriver made for some well appreciated current. We made a stop on a quiet beech to enjoy the weather before we dropped off the crew of the Don't Fight It.<br /><br />The Sea Monkey landed on another beech later in the day. Hog-Back Island is a local social area for the people of Quincy. We've already strayed far from the northern accent so everyone in that area sounds southern to us. Right off the bat, we met Jim and his wife. Jim used to be an auctioneer and didn't seem to stray far from his auctioneer tone. He spoke at a mile a minute and hardly took a break to inhale. The people down here seem less regulated and a little more wild than back home: very easy to get along with too.<br /><br /><br />We left Hog-Back before dark and landed in Quency for the night. Some folks at Hog-Back recommended the bar Cutter's. Matt lost his hat on the way to the bar. Once there, we met Uncle Boomer. I took it with a grain of salt when he introduced himself by saying: "I'm Uncle Boomer. If you call me anything else I'll knock your teeth in." But he was envious of the trip and had nothing but good things to say about it. He even gave us 20 bucks out of the blue! Thanks Uncle Boomer! Matt asked some locals where he could find a cheap hat, only to find one offered to him for free. What a deal!<br /><br />Sunday morning we met up with Brent from Premium Water in Quency. We got in contact with him earlier and they donated 4 cases of bottled water to the Sea Monkey. We had yet another hour long wait at the lock and dam in Quency but at least got a spot in line ahead of another barge.<br /><br />I was pumped to visit Hannibal MO, home of Mark Twain. As we floated into town, the local tour boat, the "Mark Twain" gave us a welcoming honk. The Mark Twain was heading up river as we passed by them and swung around for a second look as we were pulling into the marina.<br /><br />We went out to eat just across the street form the Museum and I saw Tom Sowyer and Becky Thatcher just outside the restaurant. I ran out to say to the people I've been reading about and they were glad to see someone making the same trip as their buddy Huck. Tom showed me his walking stick that tripled as a fishing rod and a sling-shot. He said that way he always ready if he sees a critter and never lets supper get away easy. I asked Tom where he got his straw hat because I've been looking for one of my own. He told me about a little shop up the street that may have them. I got a picture and chatted with the two of them and and Tom's mom. Tom gave me a nut that he called a hog's eye for good luck. My food was getting cold so I went back to eating up. After only a few minutes, Tom came back in and gave me a straw hat! Thanks a bunch Tom and Becky! After dinner we went through the museum and also the old Drug store, the boyhood home, the justice of peace office and Huck Fin's house. Lots of history too. <br /><br />Some friends of ours from high school, Will and Kelly, drove in from the Chicago area. They gave us a few supplies and what not. We all toured the Hannibal a bit more before crossing the river to a large beach on the up-river side of another island. We met Chris, a local, who mentioned that he saw two canoers in a colorful homemade boat earlier.<br /><br />We're in the city of Louisiana, MO and a thunder storm is approaching so I'll have to put the computer away. We have the three tarps strapped down and the fourth strapped out as an awning over most of the front deck. We just heard a close bolt of lightning hit so we should cleared after that one equalized the charge across the area. My camera battery is dead but I'll try to jiffy charge it and snap some photos of the storm. Rain is good and bad because if it's too heavy it keeps us from moving, but heavy rain also raises the water levels, thus giving us current when the Army Corps of Engineers opens the dams. I'll keep you posted as often as I can.

It rained all day, everything got wet. I fell asleep in a light sprinkle to wake up soaked and shivering. It was a pretty miserable day for everyone. We went through a huge pool above a lock with areas of wide open water and areas of islands all over the place. The highlight of the day probably when we passed close by and island covered with birds. There were too many different kinds of birds to count, it was like a bird zoo on a single small island. The trees look as if they were filled to capicity with birds perched on them. The water was full of swimming birds around the island also. When we got close they started taking off and flying around the raft. It was like the Birds Alfred Hitchcock movie. We drove into the night and stopped and some overgrown abandoned looking docks in an old marina for the night.Benhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12808760194111349926noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106636745221779874.post-66095075273111923622009-07-23T00:38:00.004-05:002009-07-27T17:45:05.481-05:00Pictures from DubuqueUs with Pete, Revy, and Jen:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8STcHCkfcrfoNyxTs2oMTIKDkU3Tg-X6FAvwKl1c1zJiQXVIvPi4mQ2ohIXRmBmSXHyLSNaImfoHiGNFA61baCDyBtcR30CA9sQpKguivtbfi0cAo8yXOSyJVvhE8ZK0Zhbc8tP18gd8/s1600-h/SANY0067+1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

We all thought that was pretty cool. We arrived in the evening and met up with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Revy</span>, Jen, Pete, and Lisa. We tied the Sea Monkey up in the marina beside <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Revy's</span> houseboat. Pete and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Revy</span> had made a bet that if we make it to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Dubuke</span> Pete has to kiss <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Revy's</span> butt. So Pete being a man of his word climbed aboard the Sea Monkey and did just that. Right beforehand Pete put tons of chap stick on to form a shield. We all had a good laugh. We hung out a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Revy's</span> houseboat for awhile, went to the Yard Arm bar on shore than went to bed. <br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Sun</span><br />The next day we headed out to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Schumacher</span> beach a couple miles out of town on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Revy's</span> boat at around noon. The beach filled up with other boats and had lots of fun <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">ensued</span>. Chuck let us ride his 1200cc jet ski, that was a blast. Some generous beach goers donated some food to the journey also, thanks again. The night before Lisa told us she was going to make us anything we wanted for dinner the next day. I requested Salmon and Josh asked for Lasagna, Ben said he'd eat anything she made. We left the beach at around 5 and headed for Pete and Lisa's houseboat for dinner. Their boat was pretty much the opposite of the Sea Monkey. 60' long, 2 bathrooms, and nicer than most houses on land. The meal was so good, we were all very thankful. After dinner T-Bone gave us some fresh vegetables from his <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Tri</span>-State market in East <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Dubuque</span>, IL and Tom gave us some fishing tackle. Everybody was so generous, it was great. We slept at Skippers house on dry land that night.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Mon</span><br />The next day we painted teeth on the splash <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">guard</span> on the Sea Monkey. They turned out pretty good, the Sea Monkey should stick out even more than it already does now. Tom stopped by the raft and showed Josh how to use some of the tackle he gave us. Josh got 3 fish within 5 minutes. After that Chuck welded our broken anchor back together and Skipper took us to a boat store so we could buy some oil. There was a 40' speedboat with dual supercharged 602<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">ci</span> engines that were so clean you could eat off of them. Being from lake country I'd never seen a boat like that before. We went to a couple bars headed back to raft and prepared for an early start.Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08651342976357681240noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106636745221779874.post-10772841559856833962009-07-21T17:11:00.002-05:002009-07-21T18:24:22.255-05:00Just a quick update.We've been having a lot of fun the last couple days in Dubuque. We left at six this morning and hit some rough weather. It's too rainy to use the computer, I'm just making this quick note from the phone to keep everybody updated. We're going to shoot for Davenport by tomorrow. We'll post an update and pictures from the last few days soon.Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11563313878995468467noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106636745221779874.post-47332294858908111232009-07-20T11:59:00.003-05:002009-07-20T12:05:42.246-05:00Day 8 Pictures<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMYFSlLeJas3F1xpyudRvlYeiufzTTihMjIFygBHaOyQnOVMbt6H8m7WZnHn6QmGA5OV9nVMDNUmXlyZM4FBk75-9mDvA1o_izeRlPjJEkeTXKkHadyNlkmByWCiqZumiGNeKvYcq_NYs/s1600-h/SANY0056+1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

We were just about to call it a night when a man pulled up in his pontoon. He insisted that he was just Dan but we still called him Dan The Man. He must have seen it from the river and just wanted a closer look. Dan The Man admired the trip too! After giving us each a few beers, he invited us back to his home to get cleaned up and what not. We followed him home and he showed us around his house... and what a house! It was like being in a museum. Lots of old marine gear, a few old Harleys and plenty of antique guns. We each showered up, drank some expensive liquor, and hopped in the hot tub. It was nice to be spoiled after a week on the river. We had been chilled through the core for a few days so a hot shower and hot tub were a gift from the heavens. Dan The Man even promised us breakfast but we had to take off as soon as we woke up.<br /><br />Thanks Dan The Man!Benhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12808760194111349926noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106636745221779874.post-45537423379910486152009-07-18T10:52:00.002-05:002009-07-18T10:53:19.905-05:00River BuddiesI typed this one up last night but didnt' have time to post it. Here it is:<br /><br />We landed in Lacrosse, two nights ago, and made a few stops in town. We were only there for a short while before we set sail again. Josh was driving while Matt spotted buoys. I took a nap because it was getting too late. Josh woke me up around 4 am when we got close to an island to set up camp. We got beached on the sandbar about 100 feet from the island. We had to push off but the wind and the weeds were working against us. It took a few tries to push away from the shallows, AND avoid the weeds long enough to clear the area. The second one we tried worked out just fine. It must have been a public camp ground because there were fire pits and fire wood stacked up when we got there. It was a cold night/morning so we started up a fire. I laid down on the sand with my head on a log as we watched the sun rise and the stars fade.<br /><br />After the late night travel, we got a late start. We had another tailwind and made some great time. The sun was out, the scenery of the bluffs and the slews was something I'd never seen before. Everything was going in our favor. We had to wait for a barge in lock #8, but afterward, things were flowing well again.<br /><br />When we got to lock # 9 that night, the same barge was just going through, but there was another one coming up river that we had to wait for. We waited an hour and a half to find out that there was yet another barge waiting for passage up river. By then it was 10:30 pm and we just set up camp on the shore side of a lock. We tied up to a concrete loading dock but weren't sure if we were in the way. We were just killing time when we heard a nock on top of the cab. Two local fisherman Don and Brad from Prairie Du Chien, WI, were curiously standing outside the Sea Monkey. They mentioned that they always wanted to make the trip too. They even offered to pick up the raft when we were done with it. We told them that if they bring us back up north it's a deal. So we may already have a ride back! Well to southern Wisconsin anyway...<br /><br />We chit chatted for a few hours. We told them about the trip so far and they told us more about the river and rough patches to look out for. They liked the Sea Monkey and the idea of the trip so much that Don offered to pick us up and take us wherever we needed to go in Prairie Du Chien as we passed through the next day (today). How could we refuse?<br /><br />This morning, the lock-keeper woke us up and warned us that a barge was coming in, so we would have to run through or we would have another two hour wait. We hurried through without a second guess and were on our way to meet up with Don. On our way to Prairie Du Chien, we meat up with Brian from Pepin City. We had met him earlier on the southern tip of Lake Pepin and now again down river. It's a big river but still is a small world. Thanks for the fishing tackle Brian!<br /><br />Don met us on the shoreline and directed us to a dock to tie onto. He was more than happy to help out any way he could. We met his girl friend Tara and they brought us back to their pad, fed us and showed us around. We didn't want to leave but we just didn't have much time to spare. All of the hospitality that we've been getting is something I've never seen before. Everything about the trip so far has been an amazing experience and the people along the way are the the best part of it.Benhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12808760194111349926noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106636745221779874.post-37208805156328284362009-07-17T17:35:00.003-05:002009-07-17T17:46:11.860-05:00Day 5 PicturesBen made the front tarp into a sail:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikcCaCppvT_tBPSMgoAZptcqIvahRZBadwoDemMelk_VhCT5SWBpyxbs05jQInFcJKLz4kLhaeAsWJ7Y6i349gosNEnhWOtn3DhmCeD-IQUcSjEIP0BbwxRh4xxUdazyFUV-4-S4W3_As/s1600-h/SANY0241.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;
