The deal was he would keep it at his house and use it as much as he wanted but we could get it back any time we wanted when the RRCC went on a jon boat kind of river.
This arrangement did not end well.
The garbage man is fine, but we had to put the Green Mule down. According to Peter F. Feldman this is the saddest moment in sports.

So what next? Stuart is coming in late Thursday night for the Spring trip and needs to get to us somehow, which was the whole reason we bought it in the first place and by "we" I mean "he".
One option is to camp Thursday night at the put-in which we have done a few times. Car camping does have its advantages, but it may diminish some of the epic-ness of an extended trip. Three nights "down river" feels like you're really doing something. Another possibility is that Cronin MAY have a jon boat in his possession we could use but it is hard to understand his accent and he might have been saying "fat bottom" not "flat bottom." We will plug all these variables into the RRCC trip planning software along with the requests for late arrivals, early departures, bridge accesses, campsites, daily distances, water levels, and special requests from the kitchen. In the meantime, here is a pictorial tribute to the Green Mule. RIP you leaky old gal.
