It started raining at 3am and then turned into a nasty loud thunder storm till 10am. We didn't get on the river until noon, paddled to 6pm making 22 miles. We were pretty tired from the day heat that we just decided to pull into a public rec area to camp. The day were hot and we started a ritual of swimming in the river every 2 hrs. Jeffrey threw his usual attitude because the guys we were going with went topless and being vain when he couldn't. He wants to work on his tan too. He didn't like it when I reminded him one of our rules: shirt has to stay on from 10am to 5pm to avoid skin cancer.
I discovered stinging Nelly as I was collecting wood for campfire. This forced me to stand in the river for 20 minutes to relieve my pain. Looks like another beautiful night for hammocking.
