Today was a long hot day in the boat. Not a cloud in the sky makes for a hot day in the boat! We were underway before 7:30am and headed south toward the Mississippi. It was a bust day with a lot of barge traffic and one lock to pass through. After ten hours in the sun and 100 miles, we decided to stop at Hardin and have dinner and stay the night. They have a river dock without electric or water but it’s out of the way of barge traffic and a short walk to home made pie! I ordered their famous 2” thick smoked pork chops with all the trimming a great ending to a full day. It was worth the trip to dine there.
