Winter made a reappearance this week for the weekly holiday, but that didn't stop us from celebrating as usual. I know everyone's getting anxious for warmer weather to get here, but we enjoyed the snowy weather as usual. Jay, Tim Ted and I all made it down this week.
As you can tell from the photos, we had a bit of snow Sunday night and through Monday (on and off), and temps were in the upper 20's (expected to get into the teens overnight). The river had been up quite a bit due to the heavy rains over the past week and as always, plenty of wood (and other burnables) was left behind for the fire. We did gather a little firewood downriver, but most of what we burned was picked up right below the fire. There'll be a bit of a clean-up after the snow melts.
No big projects this week, but I did bring my ham radio down again; I had a different antenna to try out. Didn't talk to anyone, but we were picking up stations from Puerto Rico. Not enough power out of my portable station to get back to them.
Didn't see much of the locals around this week, but I did give the Arthur kid and his significant other a ride half way up the mountain to where they'd left their car in the snow. Guess they made it back home ok.
Jay brought down several pallets this week, and with the colder weather, they made for a great fire (best on the river?).
Yes it was the best fire on the river,and it will be the next Monday........So be there!
