It was nice to enjoy the luxury of the cabin. AC, ice, delicious cocktails, a bed! One downside to not camping right on the river is that you have to haul all of your gear. At least the marina had a dock cart so it could be done in one trip.
When I arrived with my bag of River Trash and asked for the recycling bin, I was directed to the bins below. They are NOT recycling bins. I took a shot of the inside of one. Just about everything visible was plastic. Much of it recyclable. All headed for a landfill. Drill for oil, refine it, make plastic items, use them once, transport them to a landfill, bury them. Good plan.

I have about 44 miles to the planned take-out, so I need to cover about 11 miles each day. Higher winds predicted for tomorrow so I may try to go farther today -- if Coleman and I don't spend too much time fishing! No more campgrounds or Marinas on the route. I will just have to start looking for camp sites in the afternoon/evening each day. I also off-loaded items I no longer need or decided I can do without and replaced that space with additional Gatorade and water.
No recycle bins here.
😩 So much plastic headed for the dump.

Pack, unpack, haul gear, repack, repeat. Cole Point marina bar and grill.
Cabin #2.
Part of the route for today.
It's so frustrating when you can't recycle stuff you've collected. When I buy a bottle of soda for lunch and there's no recycle bin, I feel compelled to bring it home with me so I can recycle it.
