2012-06-10

tl;dr: Short day. Paddled into Demopolis where I will spend the week getting work done.

It didn't rain as forecasted. In fact it hardly rained at all until I was about a mile from my destination in Demopolis.

Today was a short day. I reached the Riverview Inn before noon. Nothing to report.

I've noticed something over many trips: While traveling I get tired, but it's usually manageable. But when I finally stop for a few days, and my body realizes I'm stopping, I completely collapse and every muscle in my body goes sore. I also get very hungry.
