DAY 4-MILES TRAVELED 119.3

Very quiet on the river, other than barge traffic and duck hunters. We see many duck hunting blinds out in the river. They are large and built on some type of platform and then covered with grass and reeds. There is some type of river ivy growing along the shore and completely covering vegetation in some areas. It looks like topiary of odd forms. We spent the night at the Keokuk Yacht Club in Keokuk, Iowa. The bartender at the yacht club loaned us his car so we made a trip to WalMart for a few things and ate at a recommended restaurant called The Hawk Eye. I thought about wearing my Minnesota Gophers t-shirt but was afraid they might spit in our food!! (just kidding)
