Wednesday began as it ended in the luxury of the state park. We spent the morning cleaning up our boats (well 2 of did the other one has not cleaned it since we left and he smells, as Zed says like a fish). I managed 3 showers in about 6 hours.
We landed in the luxurious sitting room at the park where we used the internet to catch up and consider the portage and in general soak up the AC and comfy couches. Of course there was the obligatory consumption of ice cream and soda.
We pulled out before 2 and paddled toward the I95 bridge. It was a strange illusion of seeming to get farther away the more we paddled like that math example where you can 1/2 something forever and never finish it. Luckily we overcame.
I noted tons of dragonfly exuviae and went on a quest to see the adult emerging. We had pretty good success watching 3 expand wings but did not manage to see one pop out of the shell.
We then paddled along a limestone shear face wall with interesting holes. There was wildlife of deer, songbirds, and turtles. We did see some large crawfish but have not had the chance to eat any.
We decided to paddle to another campground. Matt at Mills Creek Campground was super sweet and took us in even though he is not set up for "primitive" camping, only RVs. He even waited late for us to arrive and took me on a tour in his golf cart.
