Day 28 - Camache Island, IA

We woke up late today, took our sweet time and got on the river by 11am. Nothing special today, except that it is just another gorgeous day and the wind is not kicking our ass.
Let me digress a little here. Ever since St Paul, we no longer have to portage and get to use a lock to transverse a dam. But there is a price to pay for that. Now the river has gotten bigger, the pooling for water in front of each dam is now a giant open lake with no current. This leads me to hate every damn dam that we have to past.
For some of you animal lover, I haven't talked much about bald eagle, but we pretty much can't go more than 10 minutes without seeing one flying just over our head.
Anyway, we end up on a nice island camp site outside the city of Camanche, called Camache Island.
