Day 71: R 11/22- Happy Thanksgiving!


  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!
