The sun started to light up the mountain to the west of our campsite a little before 7:00 a.m. on Saturday. With a fairly early departure planned for our second day on the river, we crawled out of our sleeping bags just a few minutes later.
Yvette and Prester quickly had the coffee brewing and started preparing breakfast. We were really roughing it.
Yvette and Joline were remarkably cheerful for that early in the morning.
Zoltan told tall tales of earlier river adventures, ...
... much to the delight of Sandra (or is that a ghostly apparition?) and Eddie.
Both the morning moon and Joline's toenails were dazzling.
Meanwhile, Susan and Mike searched the morning sky for any signs of UFO's.
Zoltan made a quick run to the local convenience store for some breakfast beers.

Yvette led us into the shadows, ...
... as the moon kept an eye on the paddlers.

We paddled for only about two hours that morning. Our destination, Rabbit Ears, was just around a few more bends as Zoltan took the lead.
