Tired!

Tuesday evening, 6:45 p.m. September 22

Two long days of traveling. Monday on the Mississippi from Hoppie's to Little Diversion Creek 110 miles, Tuesday from the creek to just below Lock 52, Metropolis, about 90 miles. That’s about 10 hours Monday and about 12 hours Tuesday because we had to lock-through at Lock 53 on the Ohio River. We’re on the Ohio now, having made it here around noon today. We’ve got about an hour till dark, but we should make it to the anchorage right below I-52 on the Kentucky side by then. I don’t really like anchoring after dark. Illinois is on our port/left and Kentucky is on starboard.

I have a nice dinner of pork chops, stuffing, acorn squash and beets planned, but it’s going to be late and we’re going to be tired by the time it’s ready. 

Footnote: We were very, very tired.
