Two boys and I got up early to beat the crowds.  Shoved off from Horse Creek at 6:30 sharp.  Nothing else in the parking lot there or down at Cox/Galena.

What a relief to go on a float trip that was actually floating not dragging.  We caught small brown bass and quite a few goggle eye.  I caught one goggle eye that was a thumper - didn't measure but guessed him at close to 10". It got really dark right after we got on the river and I was wondering if I should have brought a rain jacket.  But not even a drop.  

We got to Galena about 11:30.  There had to be at least 50 vehicles in the lot then which made me really glad for our early start.  We saw one guy solo camping with his dog, and two guys that were camped and that was it for human contact until the end.

Springfield Cardinals game last night.  It was a Jersey giveaway and most of SGF was there in line for a freebie when we got there just after 5:00 PM.  Crazy.  Game was rained out in the bottom of the fifth.  Man when the squall came through it was something.  We were up in the Ridbird Roost so thankfully under roof.  

Sure didn't have any trouble going to sleep last night.  Grandkids and their friends WILL wear you out.

Here's your pictures John.
