Today was an interesting day. There have been a number of very fast boats in and around the campsite (remember we are right on the Mississippi). I wanted to get some pictures of them running down the Mississippi today. Everything was quiet and just before 3:00 boats were racing up the river. I got my camera ready and went to get some pictures but all was quiet again. Crap - there is a bass tournament on and the weigh in was at 3:00 so no more boats. It is a Bass Master Tournament and the leader is Todd Faircloth from Texas and he is camping right across from us.
Later on I was talking to a fellow from Spain, Kim and his wife are traveling around the US on a motorcycle. Click here for Kim's Blog. His main complaint was the speed limits are too slow here. Of course he races motorcycles at home so 70 mph would be a little slow - for us with the trailer 60 is fast enough.
I was out hunting more barns - we are in a new state - and I found this one south of where we are.
I was playing with some long exposures the last couple of nights. This 7 minute shot are the campsites across the bay from us.
For those of you who remember our other two Bernese Mountain Dogs you will know that neither of them liked the water. In fact both of them walked around puddles and if it was raining Max would walk under the eves of the house until he had to walk out into the rain. Kody on the other had will swim and retrieve sticks. Here he is in the bay behind our campsite. You can see his whole back is wet and even now 7 hours later his coat is still quite damp.
