Day 22 Winona & Other Mississippi Canoers

We arrived to Winona around noon, met a group of canoe-ers, 6 peoples and 3 canoes, who started from Lake Itasca on 5/20/12, six days before us. We feels pretty good that we've made such a good progress comparing to that group we met today. They're fun to hang around. I was tempted to stick with them as we go down river for a couple days. However, after I found out that they don't start paddling until noon each day, I decided to part from them since we don't have that luxury to sleep in late. We're on a tight schedule to get Jeffrey back before school starts. We passed by one lock today. After paddling about 38 miles, we arrived at a beautiful camp site, Bodega Point, WI.
