After lunch, the kayakers pushed off at about 3 pm, heading for Lower Brewers Locks, our camping destination for the night. It was close to 7 pm, when the first boats came into sight. They were pretty hungry, so Steve and Mary Kay threw chips and rice krispy squares to them down in the lock -- lucky for them there was only one lock this time. :)

All in all, it was a great paddle. There were a few sunburns and some sore derrieres but everyone was in good shape after their first day on the water.

Tents were pitched and an awesome cold turkey dinner was served with potato and caesar salads. But the bugs were quick to follow so only a courageous few braved the West Nile threat.
