Rest before the final push - from Aaron and Jake

New Pictures are linked above: click the slideshow to see them all.

We are spending two nights in Wickliffe, KY with some of Jake's family before we continue the last 950 miles of our trip. We'll get on the river the morning of Independence Day.

The southern section of the Mississippi River will be very wild and remote.  We'll go at least 150 miles without seeing a single town.  The temperature each day will be pushing 100 degrees and we will be traveling through a region unknown to us.  We are excited for the last stretch and hopefully an approaching finish line will help drive us to the end.

www.ballardweekly.com should have a story about our trip coming up within a few days.
