Day 37 - Golden Eagle, IL

Jeff here. Writing the blog for today. Today we got on the river at 8. I had the genius idea of connecting the two oars we've been hauling for a month and making a double bladed paddle. Obviously, my idea worked and we moved faster than ever, even though the paddle was extremely heavy. We paddled to some random marina to use the bathroom and get ice. The people there were really nice and gave us free ice-cream and shirts. We spent about an hour bullshitting with people and left to the next lock and dam. After 11 hours of paddling, we made it past the dam and went to a nice bar and grill named Kinder's, where we met a nice lady who gave us free shirts. We ended up camping at the bar because it was dark and we were too lazy to go find a campsite. Overall, it was a good day. Weather was extremely hot but we got alot of free stuff and did 40+ miles so it's cool.
