| Can you find the four deer in these pictures? |

| They ran along side us on the river bank for the longest time |
We called Demoplis Lock at about 6:30 this morning to inquire as to lock traffic. The Lock Master informed us that the lock was available but to be aware that all of the north bound traffic below the lock was at a stop because of fog. There was not any fog above the lock. We decided to go for it anyway. If it was too foggy below the lock we would just anchor and wait but at least we would be through the lock before any tows held us up because this was going to be a long travel day. At 6:45 a.m. we departed Kingfisher Bay with "The Bar-B" right behind us. At 7:15 a.m. we were in the lock and out by 7:40 a.m. By that time the fog was cleared below the lock and we were on our way without any delays. This was only the second lock out of the past 11 that we did not have to wait for.There were some sightings of wildlife and passing of a few up bound tows, but not much else on our 72 mile trip today that took 10 hours. We again anchored somewhere we never have before, but with "The Bar-B"s experience and suggestion we dropped it across from Bashi Creek after entering the creek and deciding it was too narrow to be comfortable. A couple of tows passed us during the night to rock us, but other than that it was very peaceful and calm with our boat actually swinging the opposite direction of the river current.
