It was definitely winter time at the river again this week; we not only had snow on the ground like last week, but it poured snow most of the night. The temperature stayed just below 20 degrees while we were there, but with the way the wind was blowing, I'm sure the wind chill was much lower.
The eddy pool in front of the camp where we usually fish when the water's up was frozen up this week. Jay tested the ice with a few rocks, but it wouldn't have held a person.
We didn't have any problem finding wood for the fire (the best one on the river, by the way) but the pallets Jay picked up on the way down really kicked it up a notch (maybe three notches). The river had appar
ently been up again and left a few convenient pieces for burning.Those at the river this week were Ted, Tim, Jay and I (Mark). We were all bundled up pretty good in preparation for the cold, much like last week. I've been told that in the picture of the four of us from last week that we look like escapees.
Didn't see much of the locals this week; guess the cold weather keeps them pretty much inside. I am a little disappointed that they haven't put up their Christmas lights this year. The two directly behind our usual spot have put up at least one string of lights for the past several years. Guess they're not in the Christmas spirit yet.
