This has become my nighttime ritual and I really enjoy getting a sense of your daily accomplishments. Triggered a smile with the photo of the American Splendor as Jack, Rosie and I caught a glimpse of it and snapped some photos on August 11 disembarking from Winona, MN, just 2 days after meeting you a few miles south from there. And here you are passing by it so many miles south, and the river roll, roll, roll......

So glad you’re enjoying! The River has changed much since we met. It feels like a distant memory now, like that was not even the same trip. Cool that you saw the Splendor. The Mississippi River connects us all!

We are getting our first frost up here near the headwaters. Thinking of you and your heatwave as we prepare for two nights in the 30s and 20s. Stay cool and best wishes to you!!!

A. Aussie fan who has watched and learned so much since start of this epic journey..

Orion the Hinter bas a prominent part to play when following First Nations songlines across the country and tracking water in the desert . He interacts withe the Pleiades sisters ..I loved knowing he was playing with you too

Feel your triumph on arrival at Vicksburg and am amazed to think just 200 miles remain.

Here in Brisbane our days are heating up as summer rains begin again with all that means in these shared times of changing climate

..

Sleep well and be cool!
