Last night was our new record for cold, the a low of 30 degrees. We had a solid coating of frost on the inside and outside of the rain flys on our tents. I have to say that my new sleeping bag kept me snug and warm all night. I really didn’t want to leave it to go outside to break camp. But that’s not the game. We get up every morning, rain, wind, frost, whatever and get in our boats and paddle. On days like today when again with had head winds for most of the day, it’s just paddle, paddle, paddle. Don’t stop, don’t quit.
Frost on the kayak this morning
On the plus side, it was a sunny day with highs in the mid sixties. As least we where not cold like yesterday. Really not much to see today, the sameness of the scenery means you have to invent artificial targets to shoot for. That island, those power lines, this highway bridge. This helps, as does listing to podcasts and having very in-depth, completely random conversations with Jon.
The most ho-hum lunch I’ve ever had...
Aside from that, camp is at a TVA boat ramp, where will again will not be able to have a fire. Early to bed after the blog is posted and tomorrow we do it again. We have a chance at some excitement tomorrow so stay tuned!
Even on a work day, the view is still pretty nice

Thanks Ron!
