Wow! I did two weeks in little 5 person rafts down the Colorado but it was nothing like this. I'll pass thank you. You are welcome to come visit during next years epic journey. 😉
Great story. We've been all over the Badlands around Death Valley and the Mojave Desert, and the experiences couldn't have been any more different from yours (all that water), but we still recall both your joy and pain. Too many people , especially urbanites like us, never get close enough to the edges of life to comprehend, much less experience, the dimensions of the planet. Loved your cabin story--we've found many an old miner's cabin left as though the owner stepped out for vittles and never returned.
Fun read! Been forever since I've seen the Missouri and 40 years since I've canoed rivers in the Midwest. Felt like I was right there with you minus rattlesnake breakfast! 🤗
Can not make this stuff up! I'm not sure I've recovered yet but at least I survived, the marriage survived, the kids want to do it again
“Another day on the fucking river” 🤣 This is so great, Pat!
If only I had an adventure to share! But I did enjoy your adventure!

Fun times, Pat! Thanks for the memories!
But I must tell you my hand gun was a .357, not a .38. LOL Signed, the Cook
I absolutely adore reading your writing! Thank you for the read!

Best story.
I can't stop laughing. I can visualize everything you wrote. I have been in a Lara Croft situation before and feel your pain. lol. Thank you.
You want to come next time? Seems this has got the same people heartedly suggesting they want to go out again. I may need a shoulder to cry on.
Thank you! Just took 3 days, 11 hours each and 3 nights wondering why I try to be a writer--think the Missouri sun burned out my brain
