Happy
Thanksgiving! Our holiday was
pleasant enough, though no kind fisherman offered to take us home for a nice
home cooked meal. We did come
across several fishing boats and their trailers at a ramshackle fishing
camp. One boat stopped to chat and
see where we were heading. They
were two nice guys and their boat was chock full of spoon bills. They said they had seen other paddlers
attempting the trip in the past, but no one yet this year. The day was warm and only slightly breezy,
making for a pleasant day.
We
stopped for the night on a shallow sandbar on the AR side and prepared our
Thanksgiving ‘feast’. We had
instant mashed potatoes with instant chicken gravy, instant stuffing and mini
tuna casseroles. Aaron drained two
cans of tuna, added some milk and seasonings, covered each with a slice of
American cheese and set them to bake in a coal-lined hole. They were very tasty and the most
complex meal we had had. We
finished it off with a fried peanut butter, chocolate and marshmallow sandwich
each, delicious!
