We started our Saturday at 648, and didn't end up too much farther down by the end of it. It was kinda, sorta raining when we woke up and we could hear distant thunder. By the time we made breakfast, tho, we started seeing lightening and the rain started coming down for real.
We decided to wait it out for a bit an crawled back into the tent. We were probably being overindulgent and were looking for an excuse for a break, but oh well. We finally broke camp and took off around noon and headed for Prairie du Chien, WI to resupply. It was only 11 miles down then we had to go down the alternate east channel to get to town. By the time we got to the landing it was nearly five already ad we were losing daylight. We power walked the mile into town and stopped at the Piggly Wiggly and found everything we needed, including dog food for Lilly.
It was still dusk as we returned to the canoe, but the light was pretty well gone by the time we pushed off. It ws an overcast night as well, so it was almost impossible to see where we were headed. We made it across the east channel and fumbled our way to a campsite. We made an astounding 11.3 miles that day, but it was worth it for a chance to sleep in.
