River Day 10/15/2012

We had a full crew at the river this week to celebrate the holiday: Ted, Jay, Tim, Kevin and I (Mark) all made it down.  Except for some gusty wind, we had nearly perfect weather, especially for this time of year.  Temps were mostly in the low 60's.

I brought a lawn mower down, and Ted and I got the lawn in front of the camp cut, probably for the last time of the season.  It wasn't a big job, but will hopefully help Ron and Judy out a little.  We also made an executive decision to fund having the "blue room" cleaned out before the winter weather settles in.  We all enjoy the camp, so we don't mind pitching in to take care of the place.

After we got the lawn cut, we played a few games of washer toss.  Kevin and I lost two games to the Harper boys, but at least we made them work for it (a little anyway).

No one tried any fishing this week.  The river looked good, but it was just too windy to get out and try to cast.

For dinner we had some left-over chile from the annual cook-off at Wayne's World.  It was re-heated in a crockpot and seemed to take forever to get hot enough to eat, but I don't think anyone minded the wait too badly.

With the weather starting to cool off, the central gathering place was around the fire.  I'd say we had the best on the river, but I'm a little biased.  It was a nice preview to the upcoming winter fires.
