Jake is out of cell coverage again so he phoned in a report.  He had a great day of paddling and is enjoying what will probably be the last rain free campsite of the trip.  He also able to portage the last two locks avoiding a lot of barge traffic today.

We will be navigating the river toward Quincy (from above St. Louis) a week from today on our Annual Quincy Classic Cruise. Sounds like we may experience delays at the locks. It's usually first come, first served but most lock-masters will work us through between large tows.

Last year there were no delays but harvest season was later than usual. This year, the locks may be a good place to plan for a long lunch break.

I look forward to seeing you in Grafton in a couple of days.
