Sept. 25, Anchoring at Mile Marker 78
Everyone left early in the morning and we decided to explore
Kimmswick. Ken was after that infamous levee high
caramel pecan apple pie at the Blue Owl Restaurant. This pie made the list of Opray’s 100 favorite
items. While we walked to town all of
the shops were just opening, but we were on a pie mission. We purchased the pie and sauntered back to
the boat and enjoyed the walk.
We left around 11:00AM and headed to the anchorage which was
81 miles down the muddy Mississippi. We had the current pushing us
and we were cruising at 12+mph instead of our normal 9mph. We arrived in the anchorage and it was OK
except for all of the floating trash. We
dropped anchor and Randy came to check on us. We decided it was a movie night.
Our treat was the levee high apple pie. Yum!
