"Talked earlier with Kristian and Guy (the Mean Green's Drivers), who were passing through the high Texas plains into Dallas. The grease pump had a malfunction so they are manually pumping the grease out of 55-gallon barrels in the back of the grease truck AKA "Dark Chocolate." Whew! they never made it easy on the river-rat. I hope to see these road warriors sometime tonight. Another 500 miles to go.
The buzz has hit Clarksdale town with the following headline: "Surfer-Dudes coming for Muddy Waters!" Hee-hee! I have friends writing me saying they are saving their bacon grease for the return journey.
Also, Saturday night Super Chikan is performing at Ground Zero Blues Club, a not-to-miss performance before our pushoff the next morning. Super Chikan's brother Ellis is shuttle driver for Quapaw Canoe Company, and also known as "Mr. Smooth" for his killer dance moves."
