River Day 02/28/2011


We had another night of mild temperatures this week, but the weather wasn't nice by any means. It stayed in the mid 50's, still unusual for the end of February, but we had heavy rain and fog for most of the evening. It rained hard enough to keep us (just Tim and I this week) in the building for all but the last 45 minutes or so.

Sitting in a tin building, with a tin roof, with constant rain, sounded a lot like being on a firing range. You don't realize how loud you're talking until you get back outside. I'm pretty sure I'll hear that noise in my sleep tonight.

Not too much going on this evening, just a nice, peaceful break. Because of all the rain today, the river level was slowly coming up, but it only rose 4 inches or so while we were there. Hopefully, there won't be a repeat of the flooding that occurred close to this time last year.

Oh, by the way, if we'd actually had a fire tonight, I'm confident it would have been the best one on the river.
