Day 26: Dubuque!

We set out at 6:30, all the party goers from the night before were probably sound asleep.  We made it to Finley's landing, a popular swimming and party beach, and ate lunch there.  The beach was filthy.  Tons of beer cans, water bottles, and all around garbage.  People are awful.  When we got to lock #11 we chatted with some people in other boats going through the lock.  This was the first time we had the pleasure of locking through with other boats.  They asked the normal questions everyone asks, but then we talked about Loras and the area a bit since we all had a background there.  It was nice break from the normal conversation.
Mike met us at the river walk and we rigged up the boat to his roof.  It had to look so weird.  We then brought the boat to Becca's and kept it in her garage.  There it will sit for about two weeks unfortunately as we decided before the trip we could be no further than Dubuque by June 21st.  It was currently the 8th.  The 21st is my sister's wedding and I'm pretty sure I need to attend that.  We showered and got food at Salsa's.
