Going passed La Grange to Quincy Speed boat traffic picked up to a higher level. I hugged the Missouri shore and kept to it, to stay safe, from the fast traffic. I took hundreds of wakes.
A boat came up to me and I was told I could get a meal at their camp. A good warm meal sounded wonderful to me after a long days paddle.
After making a crazy mad entrance and answering questions and giving silly answers to their children, I eat a nice 4th of July hamburger meal, that I am grateful for. They had just added on to their river house, that stood on 14 foot stilts. The cabin was like a tree house surrounded by cottonwood trees, in this floodplain forest. The area was a great place to settle on and was their place for Summer vacation every year. The Kirk and Barbara Valhe Family fed me very well, and I got a bed, and shower at their house, and I thank them for their kindness and generosity.
