We paddled 35 miles today, a personal record. We had an easy 12-13 before lunch, then 9 more to a campground to get water, then 12 more to Willow Wood canoe campsite. We did this in order to get to Big Sandy Dam Rec Area to camp with my Mom, Aunt Beth, and Uncle Dave the next night.
My poison Ivy hasn't gotten much better. It turns out the sun won't actually burn it off. Who knew? I also started to boil up on my right shoulder. Too much sun! I had to put a shirt on for the rest of the day.
In the past two days the river has really started to open up and flow faster. It is still nothing like the mile wide behemoth it will become, but it's fun to see it get wider every day.
Tonight was the first night the mosquitos were really really bad. They were only marginally annoying before, but now we are both doused in bug spray and that doesn't even seem to be working.
Looking forward to some company and good beer tomorrow.
