Day 18: Civilization

The forecast for the day was rain and thunderstorms starting around 2:00 P.M.  We woke up, threw our stuff in the boat, and snacked on the water.  We wanted to make it to the Plymouth Avenue bridge, about 35 miles, before the weather turned.  We took very few breaks and paddled pretty hard, but we made it.  My Mom met us there and as we were throwing the last of the gear in the back of the truck it started raining.  Perfect timing.  It was very cool paddling into a big city.  We could see the skyline for miles before we got there.  It was also the most boat traffic we had seen all trip.
We went to Smashburger, Starbucks, and the liquor store and then went to my Grandparent's house to shower up.  My Mom then left and we went to our friend Charlie's place for a night on the town.  We ate like we hadn't seen food in a year.
