Finally reached the Allegheny Reservoir today. It is a 27 mile long lake with lots of motorboats, sailboats, and jet skiers. Very picturesque. Summer homes dot along the lake and it's the first time we have seen more than two people on water! After swimming the reservoir we will reach the first dam, the Kinzua Dam, and then several more until Pittsburgh.
Today's swimming conditions were rough, had about a one to two mile per hour headwind and choppy waters. Every time a boat would pass the waves would offset my course. It felt like I was swimming in glue! Throughout the day I kept asking James if I was even moving forward. I usually manage 2 mph swimming but today only 1 mph.
We found a campsite on a beach and the day ended with another beautiful sunset over the mountains. I can't fall asleep right now because I have some sort of itchy rash all over my body. It feels like my body is burning. I wonder what that's all about!?
