Day 1 - - Indiana to Springfield, MO
Day 2 - - Springfield, MO to close to Elk City, OK
Day 3 - - Elk City, OK to Albuequerque, NM
Tomorrow - - Albuequerque, NM to Williams, AZ

The kids (14 YO Grace and 8 YO Dru) are doing quite well. Full of questions and expectations. Pretty impressed with the panhandle area and so far in NM (especially the mountains near Albuequerque).

More later - - - I couldn't resist posting the pictures of my 8 YO "navigator". Photo taken on day 1, What a stitch !!

My gosh... you blew by fast! When you coming back through to home?

When we encounter wakes from boats whose drivers don't have the courtesy to slow down, we face into them like you're supposed to, of course, and ride them out. I love them, but am nervous at the same time. Sorta like the roller coaster!

Suspinz: Dabbler in Many Things

Sue, I only take the yak out when the river is very calm, but I need to start checking the tide charts, too. The largest ships can only come up river when tides are high. Thankfully their wakes are just swell and not breakers unless you are too close to shore.

The first time I went out and saw a big ship coming I headed to the beach then turned into the wake. HUGE mistake as in shallow water the wakes became breakers over the bow and I got soaked. Now I paddle into deeper water. Even tho the swells are 3-4 feet tall, they are gentle and far apart. It's quite a ride!

The river is very wide here and there is plenty of room to avoid getting close to the ships. When I become a stronger paddler I want to cross over to the Oregon side at low tide and explore some of the islands. I love the quiet of not having a motor, but I can't stop paddling for very long or the current will take me too far down river. You and Martin should come this way one summer and we'll go yaking.

BTW, I wrap my phone in paper towels and seal in a ziploc bag in my PFD zip pocket. I won't answer a call. It's just if I need to call for help.

Copilot is such a sweet pic! More great memories to come. Be sure to tell him side trips are his responsibility.

Add some uncooked rice in your bag... Then if some water does get in. The rice is supposed to absorb it. I havent tried it, just read it. I did buy a waterproof digital camera for my 5 yo grand in May, think i will get obe for myself.

We went today, and on your advice. Earlene had the shrimp and grits, and I had the #(&%)!( (can't remember the name) but it was two fried grit patties one covered with salmon and the other with fried oysters and a rich cream sauce. and a baked potato. A little on the salty side but still very good.

We strolled through the city market, saw those baskets you mentioned, and all I can say is, I would have to have your money to afford any of them. So no, Earlene did not purchase any.
