Another 40 miles

L 665 I realized something today. I'm not 58 anymore. 8 hours of sitting in the saddle is about all my ancient ass can take. 8 hours equals about 40 miles. It looks like 6 MPH is going to be my average. I take a few breaks, drift a little and after starting at 8 I've had enough at 4.  40 miles. There was a dredging operation below my camp last night. The COE was dredging the channel so the river was effectively closed where the dredging was underway. It wasn't closed for me. I didn't need the main channel. There was a parking lot of tow boats below the dredge. I paddled for 2 hours and passed one after another. There is a 100% chance of rain tomorrow. What does that mean anyway?  It's suppose to get cold too. As anyone who knows me can attest I am happiest when I'm miserable. At least that's what Jenny has observed. I should be happy tomorrow.
