A new day, not!

Morgan spent a quiet night at the Days Inn and is waiting for the maid service.

Saturday morning comes and we pack the car to get back on the road to Missouri. But first we must deal with the stinking kayaks again! Nancy goes to the front desk to ask for help while I once again try to tie these suckers down for the 12Th time. At one point Nancy said lets just leave them in a ditch!!! Well I was ready to agree, however when packing I saw the paperwork on what we had paid for them and decided that would not be such a good idea.

Help comes in the form of two non English speaking guys who seem to understand our problem. We work in the freezing cold for about 20 minutes and still we can't get the straps to work. One of the guys takes all the straps off and takes one of the kayaks off the car. At this point we think, oh they are going to start over and do it from scratch till Nancy hears the guy say, where do you want to put this? Crap!!!!!!!

We thank them for their help and put the kayak back on the car, strap them down well enough to limp to a Home Depot. Once again I go in, tell my story and this time we get the help we need.

A shout out to Dave and his son Lance from Ohio,they were able to secure them so we could make it to Missouri. This cost us 5 hours over the two day trip, but we made it safe and sound.
