River Day 11/26/2012

The last River Day in November was celebrated this week by the regular crew:  Jay, Ted, Tim and I (Mark).  Once again, we had great weather for this time of year; temps in the mid 50's with overcast skies.  Most of the evening we didn't even have to put on jackets.  The exception was the very end of the night when the rains that were forecast settled in.  It didn't matter at that point though, as the evening was just about at an end anyway.

Ted and I finally figured out why we have such a hard time beating the Harper boys at washer toss - the Harper Hex, as demonstrated in the video:

We didn't let the pressure get to us this time, as we finally won a series.

The river level was extremely low again this week, and even though no one tried any fishing, we did walk out on the rocks.  We had noticed that a lot of the rocks in front of the camp had a weird looking white coloration on them.  We have no idea what caused it, but it was neat looking.  I hope the picture shows what we were seeing.

Ted discovered a portion of a concrete block with a circle in the middle of it that we're going to try out as a "grill".  It had some moss on it, so we seasoned it a little by the fire.  We'll have more on that when it gets its first run.

We had a lot of scrap wood to burn again this week, and even though it wasn't a big fire (by our standards anyway), it was probably still the best one on the river.
