The stretch from Gonzales to Hocheim is 39 uninterrupted miles so proper prep and the right frame of mind are required. Guess PAAKemUp had that covered as they pulled in to the checkpoint in good time and good spirits.
The stop included surprise visitors John and Joanna Athey (Philip's folks) and Marta and John. They got to share a bit of the waiting, checking the tracker and watching around the bend, plus the excitement and relief of another stretch under the boat.
Guys were in good spirits, wolfed a Schlotzsky's original and malted beverage, and set off into their second night, meandering another 25 miles to Cheapside.

Marvel-ous! |
