Applaud for Quad Cities

Today was the first time I had to stop paddling because of pain and fatigue.  Crossing the relatively small pool (lake) above Lock and Dam #15 was almost impossible for this 80 year old paddler. Winds were fierce, blowing whitecaps in my face the entire crossing. Had to cross to the East bank to make any progress. It was very tense.  I needed to paddle through the lock in time for media interviews scheduled for 1200 in Rock Island.
The interviews were great. Felt the Quad Cities community truly opened their arms with kindness and sincere appreciation for what I am attempting to accomplish during this journey. Many thanks to all of you.
After four interviews, lunch, and a wonderful tour of the Navarro Canoe Company factory, we pushed on for more river mileage.  Trying to make it to St Louis for the Fourth of July fireworks and a visit with the legendary Big Muddy Mike.  It won’t be easy.   I still have 12 more locks to pass through before reaching Alton, IL.

Hunkering down now in my tent on an island across from Buffalo, Iowa. Thankfully dry, I truly need a good night's rest. Even though the sun is still showing I have no more miles left in me before I go to sleep.

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga.
