DAY 8

"My army ranger friend Dave showed up Thursday night and camped with me on the bank of Pequea Creek about 1.2mile off the Susquehanna.   I believe Dave was researching river survival techniques for the army special forces and is planning a white paper on urban ninja survival based on what he saw on our campout together! ha.  Very off the grid hush hush stuff for sure.

DAY 4.

"I broke camp in a solid rainstorm (anyone who could see me would have been laughing for sure!). Saw 100's of wood ducks which is rare to see in volume. Also 10 plus great blue herons. Stopped and set up camp just above Harrisburg. A nice lady named Penny offered my a cup of coffee which I gladly accepted. Tomorrow is downtown Harrisburg and the Dock Street Dam. Good progress today with three sets of rapids and only one had white water." - Dan

Just saw Dan at the Dock Street Dam in Harrisbirg (Tuesday, 10/4, 12:20 p.m.). Didn't know anything about this and thought this must be some crazy guy trying to kayak the river when it's too high. Spoke with him for a minute and took a pic. He gave me one of his handouts and took off in very muddy fast water. He's in good spirits and wanted to let his wife know "I'm having fun!". Sure wish he had his life vest on cause the river is pretty high....
