Day 17 - A Really Good Day & Coon Rapids Dam


Good thing we camp early yesterday as the wind was not nice. Got up at 5 am, need to get an early start. Jeffrey being a princess so I ragged him out for a bit. We got on the river at 7am because we met a nice couple at Kelly Inn who invited us to visit their Monticello, 30 miles away. When we arrived at the address they gave us at 11am, we looked hard but couldn't find their place. We decided then to paddle on. Well, we did run into a local who graciously greeted us with cold Coke. We finally reached Coon Rapids Dam at 5:30pm, making a total of 56.4 miles. We pulled over to the left bank and set camp at Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park. This place doesn't allow overnight camping. However, considering our special circumstance with no campground in the vicinity, they made an exception for us to camp one night. Now, I'm very tired, must sleep.
