Day 45: 10/20/06

Last night, after leaving Nauvoo, we had very little daylight to find a campsite. Usually near the end of pools in the Mississippi, there are no islands and Pool 19 was no exception. We ended up camping on a tiny peninsula sandwiched between the river and the BN-SF railroad tracks. It was okay though, because this peninsula had a fridge. Anything good in there Ben?




The great migration south continues! We wonder if some of these pelicans were with us when we crossed Lake Winnibigoshish nearly two months ago. This was another reminder of how important the river is as a flyway. We're glad we don't have to do this migration every year. Once in a lifetime is good enough.
