Denean has forbid me from posting my bodily function posts. So back to boring trip updates.
This morning I owned the river for the first 2 hours.
After 15 miles I was at Memphis.
From there it was 25 miles to DeSoto park (where DeSoto forst discovered the Mississippi). That was a short 40 miles. The rest of the day was spent with Denean celebrating our 37th anniversary. We visited the Bass pro shop.

It was hot again. The eagles did not appear.
I am now 722 miles from finishing...I can't wait!
Good night all!
You da' man! Analogous to you cold evening post a few weeks ago, Justin had some 25 degree evenings camping in Yellowstone the past 5 days or so. Given your locale, I keep hearing Mott the Hoople's All The Way from Memphis as you're gliding along! Stay strong!
