Thanks for posting
After paddling the 129 miles from Wood Bottom to James Kipp in Montana, we left Ft Benton the day Bob got there.



I’ve sent him an email we may help him with transportation once he gets to St Louis, maybe get a chance to paddle with him.

We paddled with Bob today
He’s a great guy and obviously a strong paddler. As an added bonus we met TnT when we pulled out in Washington, Mo. All of us had a great visit over lunch.



Bob is still on schedule to finish Tuesday.

The Aussie has landed
Bob sent a Spot locator from dead in the middle of the Mississippi/Missouri confluence at 8:04 Tuesday morning. He left a voicemail saying TnT caught up with him at the Chain of Rocks portage and they made the Arch by midday.



Congratulations Bob for a feat few of us would ever attempt.
