Howdy
I'm spending the rest of today in Granite Falls (and tomorrow actually). I got a very kind and hospitable family to stay with. I've already met the mayor and got plans to be interviewed by the local paper.
Paddling has been kinda rough lately. The wind and rain really haven't let up in the past two weeks. I've decided not to paddle when it's what I call "really hard rain". I tipped about a week ago and thankfully it was a sunny day otherwise I wouldn't have dried out very quickly. If I tip when the rain and wind are coming down hard it's likely to turn into an emergency situation what with the hypothermia and all. Despite the weather, my spirits haven't been dampered. There is so much adventure to be had.
I did get a letter from KU saying orientation is a week earlier than I originally planned. This cuts off a week on an already time crunched trip. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and make up some of this lost time on the Red River.
All in all I'm having a great time. I really appreciate all the comments written on the blog and I'm thinking about friends and family back in Hutch town.
And a note on writing letters: if they are sent "express mail" the post office will only hold them for 5 days.
Peace,
Rutherford
