The weekly celebration of River Day saw a record number of attendees this week: Jay, Ted, Tim, Pat, Kevin, Scott and I. We even had a visit from one of the locals - Freddy. David was the only one missing from the group that makes the annual fall camping trip.
The weather was good this week, despite the rain we had early on. Temps were in the mid 60's, and the river level was back down to "normal" for this time of year. Jay and I tried some fishing; first with worms, then with a couple of helgramites that we found. We didn't catch anything, but since the natural bait is starting to emerge, it can't be long now until the fish start biting.
No projects going on this week, but with the number of people who were there, there was always a good conversation (or two) going on. We were even able to get in a few games of washer-toss after the rain stopped. Ted provided dinner this week with potato soup he had started earlier in the day and finished up over the Weber grill and charcoal. Everyone had plenty to eat and it was a good contribution to the evening. Thanks Ted!
Ted and Jay got down to the river before the rest of us and had cleaned up the majority of the flood debris from the previous week. A couple of pallets helped dispose of that in the fire.
The extra company really added to another great evening at the river.
A Pat "travel pack"!
love the travel pack!!
