Oh my...2 blog updates in 1 day. Don't get used to it. Here is the picture I have been looking for and I just couldn't wait to show you. The "Rainbow's End" and "Prancer" just south of where the Wabash River runs into the Ohio River. Man...what a site!

More pictures of the "HO-BO" & "Rainbow's End" to come soon. And if you are just joining the blog and are wondering what the "HO-BO" is...or was...please check out some of the older posts, or just wait and see...it's up to you.

Day - 28

Captain Ned was kroozing under an interstate bridge mid afternoon Tuesday and decided to try his phone. With success he spoke to Keith and reported that everything is running smooth. A north wind has brought Wilson out of retirement. Wilson is finally pulling his weight and also pulling Capt. Ned at a steady 4.4 knots.

Wilson is giving 'Ol Ned some much needed rest. I guess that after about 5 hours of steady paddling Capt. Ned is starting to feel some lower back discomfort. Nothing major, nothing that he says he cant walk off shortly after he gets out of the kayak or a night in his tent cant cure.

At this time we don't have confirmation of where Ned ended up camping last night. We'll let you ASAP. Captain Ned is hoping to be just north of Memphis, Tennessee by nightfall Wednesday.
