    The reason I like your videos, both of you, is because you are great story tellers. Always feels like we are there with you. I would have never looked into life on the Mississippi until you two started paddling it.

      Yup. It goes Mark Twain, then Masotaters. I can't remember what's in between.

      That’s exactly right, Mark Twain was my last encounter, and crossing it on I40

    How cool the pelicans. I had no idea they lived that far North.

    Lay the tent down where you are thinking of putting it. Lay down on top of it where you are planning to sleep. Only pitch it if it works.

    iPhone has a level in the stock measure app. Hold that on your paddle to test tent sites.

    Another good video. In engineering, there is a thing called a pocket level. It's about the size and weight of a snickers bar. You use it with a tape measure to roughly figure slopes. You could use one with two trekking pole to check level.

    Cool video, lock traffic is appears to be much better. Subway is great when it's hot out, that's my go to when it's to hot to cook dinner. Hope you had a great reset at the b+b . Have you tried taping your shoulder.? Might help.

      I haven’t ever had any luck taping any of my various overuse injuries. Just seems to need time and rest. Or trying to manage it on the go if it’s mid adventure like this

    I think you need a patio umbrella for the sun. You could probably plan the heat better next time you go Nobo on the Mississippi.

    [comment about that pelican deleted. I didn't suspect there'd be a thousand of them.]

    If you spell Chuck Norris wrong on Google it doesn't say, "Did you mean Chuck Norris?" It simply replies, "Run while you still have the chance.

      oh. "and order" Earn rewards and order ahead.. I'm doing this without my glasses. Well, since we're down here in the misreading department, I swear I saw, once again, the pirate pulling that rope and the gates swung.

    And, in true Hollywood of the 50s fashion, just as "foot fetish" is mentioned, the screen fades to black! And the imagination must fill in the details which, given you have both been without good showers for several days, is probably more interesting than the reality. Sigh. Nifty side channels make this voyage more interesting. Paddle on and look out for a huge flock of more pelicans! Tortoise
