Now to be fair most of these Lyft drivers are driving for Uber also but in northern Minnesota when they passed me by
three times that hurt my feelings until finally I got a ride that took me free.

It was an unbelievable magic carpet ride that I went on the yellow submarine that I called this yellow taxi that took me
on a ride around I will never forget but then again you have to read that in “How not to kayak the Mississippi River”
book series and in the book I think it’s volume three but I’m not sure of Mississippi in the First Person Series but you
could read it there.

In the meantime I’m just happy to have a day that didn’t completely rain on me all day long and I was able to get quite a
bit of gear cleared up cleaned up dusted off mudded free and moved inside the tent.
I have a hope that tonight I’m going to try to just sleep pretty much without having to get all bundled up and warmed up
and see how well the warmth of the night is now that it’s starting to warm up at night.
Eventually I look forward to taking even the rain tarp off and just looking at the stars at night but so far they’re
predicting rain tonight and for the next few days.

It is probably gonna rain just like they say so because unlike where I cam from in Utah, if they say rain in Louisiana,
they mean it.

I’m adapting and that’s kind of what makes it all so fun. It’s not something that you have to be depressed about or
obsessed to get on with what you were doing, but rather treat it as an adventure. Treat it as something that’s great about
America. Something that doesn’t come as a cyber experience but rather you have to get out get dirty; get muddy; get
wet; and get on with it.
Figure out how to make ends meet. That’s why I am out here with the great American adventure series tonight just
meeting people like my Cajun cousins.

Standing talking I was told the whole history the area. He said he didn’t come in here and four wheeling but actually on a
dirt bike it since he was eight years old.

Imagine that, since he was eight.
And now he’s taking his sons to the exact same place he always came. He said it feels like home. Admittedly he used to
go a lot farther down the Mississippi River but then they put the Dow chemical plant there and they kind of closed off
some of the areas that he used to go.
But that’s OK because every area has its own places to go and have fun.

And places for industrial and places for oceangoing trawlers and places for barges and also places for a kayaker like me
to pitch a tent and have a camp.
