With Leanne hydrated, we left Lock and Dam #20 after the morning's first 2-hour barge lock-through. We took a rest in Quincy where Leanne was supposed to pick up some medication (alas, it was too expensive). We stopped at the Art Keller Marina where we were able to take a shower (yay, thank you!), and celebrate our first THOUSAND MILES of paddling by treating ourselves to a hibachi grill meal. Under a gorgeous sunset, we passed through Lock and Dam #21 and did some night paddling before tiring and heading upstream up the Fabius River to a landing where we set up camp and crashed out.
