Progress Report Wednesday evening

Late Update: estimated arrival at Franklin Island 11:15, camp at Taylor's Landing at 1:15am. They'll reach Jeff City tomorrow and, internet permitting, Bryan should be able to give an update live from the field.

Bryan called in at 6:45. Our heroes stopped at Dalton Bottoms for lunch at 2:50 and took a 40 minute break. They reached Glasgow at 5:40pm. They hit the Lisbon Bottoms right around 6:45, which is good since it's reportedly the toughest part of the river to negotiate and they'd obviously much rather do that during day light hours. Bryan was expecting them at Coors Landing by 7:45.

The plan is to stop for dinner at Franklin Island at 9:30, then aim for camp at Taylor's Landing by 12:30 am. Bryan sounded tired on the phone, so I can only hope that Patrick and Mike are in a stage of happy delirium on the river. They're making good time so far.
