In quotes below is an unfiltered, unedited, Nick Ryan original journal entry from the Paddle Forward: Mississippi River trip.
“Strong paddled to Jacobson. Lunch on sandbar, swimming bear campsite was unavailable. played camoflage. Re-learned cribbage with Eric and Sami. Drank beer and re-supplied booze and condiments.”
As you can see he wasn’t always feeling the most poetic, and even leaves out a number of useful data points from the day. Sometimes the river wins; other times, drinking pbr and playing cribbage way past my bed time teams up with the river and they always win.
