Notes: Jake is unable to get internet.
Hi all! Jake has hunkered down for the day near Grand Tower, Illinois in a rustic houseboat (courtesy of a contact and follower or the portage project - I'm assuming it's Brent Pregracke?). Unfortunately, he is out of internet range and about out of cell range and cell phone power so he won’t be blogging until tomorrow.
He did want to report that he’s calling it early today. He said he will probably “stretch for about an hour” and give his body a chance to rest. He’s already enjoying being out of the cold and the wind and is enjoying an early dinner (late lunch?) on a sunny and enclosed patio.
Keep up the great work, Jake!
