We got up early today for a change and made it to Hannibal, home of Mark Twain. Just as we were pulling up to the dock, we saw a big power boat that was going down the river. It was an escort boat for a guy paddling the river. At first I was arrogant and didn't think much of the guy and thought he was a cheater because he had an escort boat. But I soon found out that the guy didn't have any legs and was doing it for charity so I guess its okay for him to have an escort. Anyway, he and his family turned out to be some pretty good folks. They even fed us hotdogs and soft drinks. I guess the lesson of the day is not to assume because you don't know shit.
After a good conversation and a great meal, we goofed off around town then paddled a little more to a camp-able spot. In terms of the weather, tonight is the best. No skeeters and the breeze is keeping us nice and cool.
