Mile 301 and still going!!! Posted on September 17th, 2008
Well, my cousin Kim called tonight and she is at Mile 301. Get that … she has paddled 301 miles so far … most of it by herself. She paddled 30 miles today in weather that she reports as being wonderful. She would have gone farther, but she had to wait for 2 hours at the lock. Tomorrow she plans on going only 3 miles, so she can meet up with her mystery guest at the Showboat. Seems she has a bit of a fan club! To all of you following her trip, thank you for being so good to her! She’s a great person and is going out of her way to make this trip!
There is a gentleman that she met in New Martinsville who offered to set up a party and cater the food after her trip is over. Thank you!! Kim is VERY excited!
Kim also tells me that the Huntington News has contacted her and may be following her trip as well. She has become quite the celebrity!
