A cold morning wake up, with sunrising and mist lifting off the field behind us. We snuggled back into our sleeping bags for a few more cozy minutes.
Sticking with oatmeal again for breakfast for the added warmth, we are soon back on the water.
It’s clear and we can tell it’s going to be a hot day. As we paddle we get word we have a place to stay tonight. A floating house on Hayden Island!
A couple hours into our paddle and we reach the confluence of a river flowing into the Columbia. It gives us a little push and we are quick to make it across the channel.
Soon we are already a quarter ways down Hayden Island. Receiving a photo of the house we will be staying at our pace quicken. We scour the houses and soon “I see it!”
Ferrying across we reach its docks and sheer excitement. M is dancing and singing at the beauty of this place.
Unloading, we head into town for resupplies, candy and pizza. Water jugs are found thanks to Chris Bensch driving us around. He plans to paddle with us tomorrow for a bit.
Showered and we head for a fresh meal at Crisp, a salad joint with Jim. A park ranger and amazingly kind man.
On route home we make a quick stop to see Dan and Ashley (Dan Messing) to pick up our package. Laptop case is here! Fits perfect!
A little editing but I can hardly keep my eyes open.
Goodnight Neverland!
