Sorry folks not a whole lot to say about today. We woke up at a respectable time pounded out 10 miles at a great pace and then it happened, wind. Yes, I know wind should be expected on a paddling g expedition but come on 4 days straight?! Today winds were only 10 to 15 bit that really wears on ya mentally and physically. Anyway we stopped in Keithsburg Illinois where a friendly lock operator at Lock and Dam 17 told us one could get a hot shower. Enough said. We stopped after paddling about 24 miles, took a long hot shower, walked the bed and relaxed. Way better than pushing out 6 more painful miles just to make 30 on the day. Besides we will be grounded tomorrow because of 30-40mph winds and what better way to spend an off day than a place with showers! We are currently at Riverside Campground in Keithsburg Illinois.
