Today was great mostly because there wa very little ship traffic and in many ways it felt like the early days of our trip. Although still quite wide the river has taken on a more natural feel. As the day wound down we looked for a campsite and poked into any little inlet we could find. We finally came across a great spot right along the levy. It was very protected from the channel and had a little bayou around it. The landing was the best we have had in a long time and had contemplated not even taking the boat out of he water but did anyway. We made dinner and settled into bed at a good time. Overall a great day of paddling. At an out 1am we were rudely awakened by the sound of a truck driving up over the levy right behind us. I looked up to see a truck speeding down the levy away from us, the occupants stopped twice and seemed to take aim a something particularl along the river and shot at it twice. We were both pretty nervous when we lay back down. A short time later the truck returned but spotted us this time. They were surprised to see a tent which was clear by the choice of four letter words they shouted at us attempting to gain our attention. I hesitated but then looked out again fearing that if I didn't they would escalate thier approach to getting our attention. They swore at me more then sped off. We were both very concerned they may return but thankfully we fell asleep.
Stopped for lunch
