River Day 03/25/2013

Despite all the snow we've had over the 2012/2013 winter season, this week was the first time we've had any on River Day.  And here it is the first week of spring already.  Better late than never.  Ted, Jay, Tim and I (Mark) were all able to make it down this week to enjoy winter's last blast (or am I being optimistic?).

The temps weren't too bad, upper 30's, and while we had snow at the top of the mountain, there wasn't any on the ground at the river.  Every now and then we'd get a pretty heavy snow shower that would just start to cover, then it would melt as soon as it eased up.  Either the ground's warming up, or the fire was just that hot.

  Jay brought down a truck load of scrap lumber from his latest domestic project. That, combined with the wood we're still picking up from the flood, made for what was most likely the best fire on the river.  I tried a little fishing, but I don't think the bass liked the snow very much. 

Freddy joined us for a while for his weekly visit.  Kinda makes you feel better about yourself knowing we all share similar problems, no matter what our backgrounds are (my philosophy for the week).

I think everyone enjoyed the weather we had, and as usual, another great River Day.
