River Day 11/19/2012

Another evening of great weather for this week's River Day celebration; mostly clear skies and temps in the upper 50's.  Jay, Tim, Kevin and I (Mark) all made it down to the camp, at roughly the same time for a change.  It was Ted's turn to miss due to work (gotta do it while you can).

Jay brought down a truck load of scrap wood, along with a few pallets.  In case anyone's wondering, old cabinets burn really well.







We had a "fly-by" early in the evening.  Someone in a bright yellow fixed-wing plane made a couple of passes over the camp, apparently just flying over the gorge.  It's something you don't see every day, so I did get one good picture of it.

"It's hot as $#!% out here!"

The river level was very low this week.  Jay and I took a little walk down stream and were able to get out onto a point that's normally covered with water and/or high grass.  The area was opposite a spot where we often fish.  Jay found an old lure hanging on a stump.  It didn't look like anything any of us usually fish with, but it was still a good find.

We played a couple of rounds of washer-toss again this week, and had a short visit from Freddy.  He didn't seem to appreciate our music, but you just can't beat traditional Christmas music, even if it is a little early in the season for that.

As for the fire...I think the pictures speak for themselves.
