Thank you Casey!
I think we have failed to mention that Casey Cecil is letting Paul borrow his kayak (the red one) to paddle in. It's very much appreciated. Maybe next year you can go on the paddle too!
Every little way that people have supported Allen and Paul has been amazing and we are grateful.

Cliffs of Neuse
Spent a few hours there today to recharge the cell phones. They were
able to sleep for about 4 hours last night. They slept in the kayaks
some as well. Allen said they're sore from paddling all the time, but
they're having fun. Thanks to everyone for your continued support.
They will be at Hwy 70 in Kinston Thursday morning at 7 am to resupply again.

Update on last nights paddle
Allen and Paul got to Smithfield around 8:30pm. Around 11:00pm they laid down to sleep and it started pouring rain around 11:05pm. (Their sleeping bags are soaking wet.) They put the sleeping bags back in the Kayaks and slept in there until 1am. They got up, got back in the river. Allen tied Paul to him and pulled him until 4am. He said at one point Paul's kayak hit a tree and Paul didn't even budge!
They're having problems getting their phones charged, so the updates will not be as frequent as Mondays. We will keep you updated as often as possible.

They are now at Richardson Bridge in Goldsboro and expect to be at Ferry Bridge around 4pm today!
