We awoke to beautiful weather and had breakfast at one of the local restaurants. A fisherman described it as, “the water is like glass.” We paddled for several hours, only stopping to play inside of some abandon barges.
Eventually we came to Burlington and had lunch at Big Muddy’s on the river, making friends with the staff and a few customers.
After our meal we paddled on and found a beautiful island where the Mississippi and Skunk River meet. It was my favorite camping spot of the trip.
